In most states, two kinds of custody apply to all separating families: legal and physical. Legal custody refers only to major decision-making, and physical custody refers to the parent with whom a child lives. A parent with sole physical custody is sometimes referred to as the residential or custodial parent; this is the parent with residential custody. When a child lives a relatively equal amount of time in each parentâs home, this is referred to as shared custody, also often called joint custody.
The opening for Brave falls right in line with last summer's Pixar offering, Cars 2.. That film -- released on this same weekend in 2011 -- grossed $25.7 million en route to a $66.1 million opening. Overall, Cars 2 earned $191 million at the U.S. box office and over $559 million worldwide.
Only the Brave is a 2006 independent film about the 100th Infantry Battalion/442nd Regimental Combat Team, a segregated World War II fighting unit primarily made up of Nisei Japanese Americans, which for its size and length of service became the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. The film, produced and directed by Lane Nishikawa is a fictionalized account of the rescue of the Lost Battalion.
