"Despicable Me 2" Takes Top Slot in Weekend Box Office; "Pacific Rim" Opens at #3

It was a weekend of sequels for the box office this weekend with "Despicable Me 2" and Grown Ups 2" nabbing the 1 and 2 slots.

For the second weekend in a row, the animated flick reigned supreme, grossing $44.8 million for a worldwide total of $472.4 million, on track to overtake the first film's total gross this week.

Close behind was "Grown Ups 2," which opened at $42.5 million domestically despite less than stellar reviews.

Failing to rocket ahead of the sequels, "Pacific Rim" snagged $38.3 million domestically, making a total of $91.3 million worldwide. Unfortunately, the action film will have to do better to justify its $190 million budget.

Rounding out the top three was the comedy "The Heat," and Disney's "The Lone Ranger." Meanwhile, in the specialty box office, "Fruitvale Station" grossed $377,285 from just seven theaters, likely due to the timely subject matter of the shooting of a young African-American man by BART police in Oakland.
