metacritic box office:
Box Office: Despicable Me, Grown Ups Sequels Stunt Pacific Rim Stateside. Warner-Legendary pic does better o'seas with $53 mil, while 'Grown Ups 2' grosses $42.5 mil domestically
Another weekend, another big-budget box office disappointment. This time its Warner Bros.-Legendary Pictures $185 million-budgeted Pacific Rim, which collected just $38.3 million domestically. But the film saw better results overseas, earning $53 million from 38 territories.
As Pacific Rim floundered domestically, the battle for No. 1 came down to a pair of sequels: Universals toon holdover, Despicable Me 2, estimated $44.8 million in its second frame, down 46%, while Grown Ups 2 earned $42.5 million. So far Stateside, Despicable Me 2″ has grossed an outstanding $229 million, with $472.4 million worldwide.
Globally, it was a close race for top ranking this weekend between Despicable Me 2, which collected $100.3 million worldwide, and Pacific Rims $91.3 million global weekend tally.
Even though Pac Rim tanked Stateside, the overall box office was up more than 20% over the same frame last year, continuing the summers push toward being a record-setting season.
There were few surprises this weekend, as the top three films landed in line with pre-weekend tracking estimates though a last-minute barrage of advanced ticket sales for Pacific Rim had the media buzzing about a potential overperformance. Still, the fanboy-driven film was front loaded by Imax, which contributed 19% of the pics domestic opening with just 331 locations.
Audience reaction to Pacific Rim was mostly positive, with best responses from men. However, according to CinemaScore, women also rated the film an A-.
Meanwhile, Grown Ups 2″ showcased the reliability of the franchise, as well as star Adam Sandler, since the film has been skewered critically. Pic scored just 7% on RottenTomatoes. But more than half of the films debut came from auds under 25, a demo less prone to reading reviews than adults.
The Weinstein Co.s limited release of Sundance pick-up Fruitvale Station scored the weekends highest per-theater average, with nearly $54,000 per location. The film bowed at seven theaters in New York, L.A. and San Francisco, where it totaled an estimated $377,285.
