Weekend Report: 'Despicable Me' Dominates, 'Predators' Solid But Unspectacular

Gru and his army of Minions may appear to be ruthless villains in constant pursuit of world domination, but that didn't stop audiences from showing Despicable Me some serious love at the box office. The weekend's other new release Predators was far behind, though it still performed admirably compared to past entries in the franchise. Holdovers The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Toy Story 3 continued to play well, while The Last Airbender had a considerable drop-off. The Top 12 was up 36 percent from the same timeframe last year, when Bruno led with $30.6 million.

Despicable Me raked in $56.4 million on around 5,200 screens at 3,476 theaters. While this number fell short of the openings ofg the summer's other 3D animated features Toy Story 3 and Shrek Forever After, it was still mighty considering Despicable Me had no built-in audience. In fact, it was the third biggest-grossing opening ever for a non-sequel, non-adaptation, non-Pixar animated movie behind Kung Fu Panda and Monsters Vs. Aliens.

Definitely THEATER, unless you're planning to buy a 3D home system.
