FIRST BOX OFFICE: 'Despicable Me' Could Be Good For $55M-$60M Weekend

FRIDAY 8 PM: (Numbers will be refined later tonight.)
... Despicable Me 3D today is translating into "amazing" attendance of $22 million for what could be a $55M-$60M weekend opening despite having two other 3D family films in the marketplace.

Senh: I was expecting a hit, but not this big of a hit. It does have an interesting and original premise and having Steve Carell voice the title character helps. Now Universal Pictures is officially in the animation game.

 

First Box Office: 'Date Night' #1, 'Clash Of The Titans' #2, 'Train Your Dragon' #3

First Box Office: 'Date Night' #1, 'Clash Of The Titans' #2, 'Train Your Dragon' #3

1. DATE NIGHT (Fox) NEW [3,374 Runs]
Friday $9.1M, Estimated Weekend $26M

Overall, it's a fairly tight race among the box office leaders this weekend with the only newcomer -- Fox's Date Night -- opening very wide so it can compete on an equal footing.
