If you would have told me last week that Despicable Me was going to beat a Twilight movie at the box office, I would have called you crazy!
However, that is exactly what happened this weekend!
Despicable Me debuted to $60.1 million this weekend, making it the #1 earner at the box office, in front of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which brought in just $33.4 million this weekend.
Sure, fans lined up in droves to see it the opening weekend, so of course it’s second week numbers were going to be lower, and sure it’s already grossed $250 million, but I think the point here is that Despicable Me didn’t really look like the type of movie that would top 60.
Credit where credit is due!
