How Much? Box Office Results- July 5-7

The results are in. Despicable Me 2 has broken the record for 5-day gross of an animated film, The Lone Ranger bombed hard, and Kevin Hart is getting closer and closer to becoming a household name. Also, The Way, Way Back opened heartily with $575,000 in only 19 theaters; not enough to make the top 10 but an impressive limited release gross nonetheless.

White House Down continued to disappoint, but I don't think this has as much to do with the people involved as with the fact that a movie about the exact same thing, Olympus Has Fallen, opened earlier this year. The Heat held on very nicely, and Monsters University wasn't completely obliterated by Gru and his minions in Despicable Me 2.

From my predictions from Thursday, I got the order of all ten films correct, and was high on the top 2 films but about right with the other 8. Not a bad way to start off the "How Much?" box office game on LCA Film.

Here are the results:

1. Despicable Me 2- $82.5 million

2. The Lone Ranger- $29.3 million

3. The Heat- $25 million

4. Monsters University- $19.5 million

5. World War Z- $18.2 million

6. White House Down- $13.5 million

7. Man of Steel- $11.4 million

8. Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain- $10.1 million

9. This is the End- $5 million

10. Now You See Me- $2.7 million
