How Much? Box Office Results- July 12-14

For the second week in a row, I correctly predicted all 10 films in the correct order. It was a tough call considering there were appealing new releases, but I stuck with my gut in trusting Gru and his Minions and they did not disappoint. Grown Ups 2 performed very well (which is saddening) and Pacific Rim underperformed (which is saddening). I was within $3 million of each individual prediction also!
In limited release news, Fruitvale Station (review coming very soon) performed extremely well with $377,000 from only 7 theaters, or a $53,857 per theater gross. Sold out show after sold out show and it is expanding in the coming weeks. The Way, Way Back (review coming soon) is also expanding due to its healthy gross of $1.1 million from 79 theaters, or a $14,051 per theater gross in its sophomore session.
I have reviews for 9 of the 10 top films, and they are posted right next to the weekend gross. Here are the results:

1. Despicable Me 2- $44.8 million (http://licacfilm.blogspot.com/2013/07/despicable-me-2-2013-review.html)
