The animated sequel Despicable Me 2 dominated the box office both at home and abroad with the toon's worldwide total estimated to be $293.2 million since opening Wednesday. The Universal/Illumination film earned an estimated $82.5 million this weekend alone to top the domestic box office.

The Johnny Depp-Armie Hammer western, from the creative team behind the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean series, earned dismal reviews and came in a weak second place with $29.4 million for the three-day weekend. It's grossed $48.9 million domestically since its July 3rd bow, far below the studio's $65 million estimate. We'll see how it does overseas.
