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.
Based on the GQ article No Exit by Sean Flynn, Only the Brave was directed by Joseph Kosinski from a screenplay by Ken Nolan and Eric Warren Singer. The film was produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Michael Menchel, Erik Howsam, Molly Smith, Thad Luckinbill, Trent Luckinbill, Dawn Ostroff and Jeremy Steckler and executive produced by Ellen H. Schwartz.
