Despicable Me 2 set off fireworks at the Fourth of July holiday weekend box office, expecting to rake in at least $140.5 million over the course of five days.
The sequel to the 2010 movie was one of the top openings for an animated film of all time.
Trailing in second is The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, which earned a estimated $48.5 million, far from enough to make up for its massive budget.
Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy’s The Heat came in third at $29.3 million, followed by Monsters University ($24.6 million) and World War Z ($21 million).
