Eclipse in Second Place After 10 Days: Box Office Predictions
The Universal-distributed animated 3D fantasy-adventure Despicable Me, directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, and featuring the voices of Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Julie Andrews, Miranda Cosgrove, Will Arnett, Kristen Wig, Russell Brand, and others, took the pole position at the box office on Friday, earning an estimated $22m (between $55m-$60m for the weekend) according to Nikki Finke‘s Deadline.com. (Note: the figures found in Finke’s piece are very early, very rough estimates.)
Now, the good news for Twihards (bad news for Twihaters): Eclipse should gross about $35m over the weekend ($11.5m on Friday) — or about 52% of what it earned a week ago.
