Despicable Me rules box office
LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — The minions have overtaken The Lone Ranger.
Studio estimates yesterday show Despicable Me 2 is trampling the Johnny Depp Western at the holiday box office. The animated Universal sequel has collected three times more than the Disney cowboy caper since both films debuted Wednesday.
Despicable Me 2 earned US$59.5 million so far, while The Lone Ranger took in US$19.5 million in ticket sales.
