Here are the studio estimates:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. 2 Guns ($27.3 million)<\/p>\n<p>2. The Wolverine ($21.7 million)<\/p>\n<p>3. The Smurfs 2 ($18.2 million)<\/p>\n<p>4. The Conjuring ($13.6 million)<\/p>\n<p>5. Despicable Me 2 ($10.4 million)<\/p>\n<p>6. Grown Ups 2 ($8.1 million)<\/p>\n<p>7. Turbo ($6.4 million)<\/p>\n<p>8. Red 2 ($5.6 million)<\/p>\n<p>9. The Heat ($4.7 million)<\/p>\n<p>10. Pacific Rim ($4.5 million)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Analysis<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>2 Guns<\/strong><\/em> was armed with two bankable stars (Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg) that enabled this tail-end summer action product to have a decent opening despite muddled reactions from the lovely critics. Produced for $61 million &#8211; a good portion of that given to the leads &#8211; this will need to hang around until Labor Day in order to hit the profitability target during its theatrical run.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Smurfs 2<\/strong><\/em> could end up being one of the biggest flop of the summer&#8230;at least in the U.S. Created with a production budget of $105 million ($5 million less than its 2011 predecessor), this is clearly on <strong>Flop Alert<\/strong>. The only magic this can rely on, in the hopes of seeing the black ink, is from the overseas&#8217; loyalists (suckers). 2011&#8217;s outing did $421.1 million in international territories after grossing $142.6 million stateside. Much like the sequel, the first installment was critically panned (though yours truly believes the sequel is an improvement). So unless this can reach over $250 million from foreign markets, don&#8217;t bet on seeing a Smurfs 3 in theaters (direct-to-DVD is another story).<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to incredible word-of-mouth, <em><strong>The Conjuring<\/strong><\/em> has quietly reached $108.5 million domestically. It could become one of the top 5 grossing supernatural horror flicks of all-time in the next couple weeks.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Despicable Me 2<\/strong><\/em> continues its impressive run, snagging $326.6 million on the home front. Meanwhile, <em><strong>The Heat<\/strong><\/em> currently holds the longest streak in the top ten with 6 weeks. The female buddy-comedy is now up to $149.5 million off a production budget of $43 million.<\/p>\n<p>This week is a stacked card for newbies with <em>Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters<\/em> and <em>We&#8217;re the Millers<\/em> showing up on Wednesday and Elysium and Planes coming in on Friday.
