The box office results for the weekend of July 19th – 21st reveals that moviegoers yearned for scares. The Conjuring<\/em> trounced all the high profile newbies while Despicable Me 2<\/em> became the top grossing animation in 2013. Here are the studio estimates:<\/p>\n

1. The Conjuring ($41.5 million)<\/p>\n

2. Despicable Me 2 ($25.1 million)<\/p>\n

3. Turbo ($21.5 million)<\/p>\n

4. Grown Ups 2 ($20 million)<\/p>\n

5. Red 2 ($18.5 million)<\/p>\n

6. Pacific Rim ($15.9 million)<\/p>\n

7. R.I.P.D. ($12.7 million)<\/p>\n

8. The Heat ($9.3 million)<\/p>\n

9. World War Z ($5.2 million)<\/p>\n

10. Monsters University ($5 million)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Analysis<\/em><\/p>\n

This weekend was up for grabs as it provided cinematic junkies a wide-range of genres to choose from.<\/p>\n

The Conjuring<\/strong><\/em> is already on a lock for profitability thanks to a relatively thrifty production budget of $20 million. James Wan’s old-school horror delight had the opening weekend all studios strive for (positive reviews, excellent word-of-mouth, made back its production budget, etc.). Although horror products tend to die-out quickly, expect this to haunt the top ten longer than the norm.<\/p>\n

R.I.P.D.<\/strong><\/em> pretty much had the polar-opposite of this weekend’s winner. Crafted with a $130 million production budget, this is going to be a Flopper even with a miracle DVD\/On-Demand jaunt. The over-saturated summer of CGI-laced flicks may have disenchanted audiences a bit after a heavy first-half slate, despite the drawing power of Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges.<\/p>\n

Though it may seem Red 2<\/strong><\/em> will also be a disappointment, the first installment hustled its way to a worldwide theatrical total of $199 million in 2010, thanks to some international market Viagra. Upping the production budget to $84 million (Part I was $58 million) – probably to entice Bruce Willis and John Malkovich to come back along with crafting more high-octane action sequences – the increase is justifiable if this can reach the levels its predecessor achieved.<\/p>\n

And finally, the 3D animation about a little snail that could, will need that theme to invade moviegoers’ minds if Turbo<\/strong><\/em> is going to have a chance at the black ink. Made for $135 million, and will an already crowded roster of animations currently in, and more to come, at theaters, this sucker better not run out of gas for DreamWorks Animation.<\/p>\n

Outside of the new arrivals, Despicable Me 2<\/strong><\/em> is on a scorching pace as it has reached $276.1 million on the domestic front in just over 3 weeks. With this amazing start, it could be the 2nd highest grossing film of the year trailing only the summer’s curtain-jerker Iron Man 3<\/em> ($407 million).<\/p>\n

Pacific Rim<\/strong><\/em> dropped 57% from its opening weekend…proving that moviegoers are still foolish sheep half the time.<\/p>\n

This Friday, It’s all about The Wolverine<\/em>. Also sneaking in (expanding) is the lauded Oscar-buzzer The Way, Way Back<\/em>. Reviews will be right here my fellow Shockers!<\/p>\n
