"Pacific Rim, Guillermo Del Toro’s $190 million robots vs. monsters adventure, took in $14.6 million on Friday, which could lead to a weekend in the $35-40 million range. (It looks like tracking — not online buzz — was right this time.) With an “A-” CinemaScore grade, Pacific Rim could have strong enough word of mouth to reach the higher end of that range and overcome the tendency of many genre titles to overperform on opening night and lose momentum through the weekend.
In third, Despicable Me 2 finished Friday with $13.4 million, but it probably has the best shot at hitting No. 1 this weekend thanks to family matinee shows on Saturday and Sunday. The animated film, which has already earned $197 million, could take in about $47 million this weekend, which would give it a $230 million total after just 12 days."
