Sony/Illumination’s Despicable Me 2 opens today in 3,997 theatres, according to Box Office Mojo. The film is doing well with the critics, picking up a 74% Fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes. The consensus: “It may not be as inspired as its predecessor, but Despicable Me 2 offers plenty of eye-popping visual inventiveness and a number of big laughs.” BOM expects big numbers, predicting it would be the second highest grossing film of the summer, back in April.
