Despicable Me 2, which we rather loved is after doing some serious business at the Irish box office. Including previews, Gru and company have raked in €1.5m so far, knocking; the all conquering Iron Man 3 off the top spot. As a result, Despicable Me 2 has this years biggest opening to date.
Opening on 190 screens across Ireland, the sequel opening a 71% ahead of the original movie. And with the kids just after getting their summer holidays, there’s close to another million in this yet I reckon!
Commenting on the successful opening weekend Dave Burke, General Manager of Universal Pictures International Ireland, “We are thrilled at the success of Despicable Me 2 at the Irish box office; the record-breaking result shows the huge appetite that Irish audiences have for Gru and his minions”.
