Illumination made Despicable Me 2 for half of what Pixar spent on Monsters University, and it's going to be a larger success. I expect DM2 to wind up being the second-highest grossing movie of the summer, behind Iron Man 3. Gru is now for Steve Carell what Shrek was for Mike Myers.
Grown Ups 2 is going to be profitable, and it just justifies Adam Sandler continuing his lazy ways that have made his movies worse and worse.
Pacific Rim had a $190 million production budget, but this is also a movie made with international sensibilities in mind first.
The Heat's continuing at a steady pace, should be able to get to the $150 million mark.
The Lone Ranger is a flop. It looks doubtful to hit $100 million domestic at this point.
