“Despicable Me” no dastardly debut
Hollywood held two smoking aces this weekend as studios tried their hand at the box office. Winning the weekend was Despicable Me, which nearly doubled the booty of The Twilight Saga Eclipse, the third sequel in the hit Twilight series. The lovable animated feature hoarded a healthy $60 million and Eclipse took in approximately $33 million. Predators cashed out at around $25 million for third place, a worthy position for a horror film (and the fifth sequel in the franchise).
