Universal
Universal's "Despicable Me 2" blew away all analyst expectations this holiday weekend.
The return of Steve Carell as the villain with a heart of gold, Gru, and his little yellow henchmen earned a massive $142.1 million domestic haul over the five-day weekend.
Expectations for the sequel to the 2010 film were set around $100 million.
Over the course of the three-day weekend, the yellow minions brought in an estimated $82.5 million. (That number should go up a little since the night's not over.)
That's more than the $82.4 million of Disney and Pixar's "Monsters University."
The original film debuted to $56.4 million.
Worldwide, the film is currently hovering around the $300 million mark. "Monsters U" is currently at $400 million.
