The weekend box office crown went to director James Wan's The Conjuring, which debuted with $41.5 million. That's the good news. But the bad news is that poor Ryan Reynolds has the distinction of starring in not one but two box office disappointments this weekend: Turbo and R.I.P.D.
Turbo had one of DreamWorks Animation's lowest-grossing openings ever with a third place bow of $21.5 million, while the supernatural-themed action comedy R.I.P.D., also starring Jeff Bridges, flopped with a seventh place debut of $12.8 million. R.I.P.D reportedly cost upwards of $130 million to produce.
R.I.P.D. wasn't the only comic book movie to have a disappointing debut this weekend. The Bruce Willis-led ensemble action comedy Red 2 had a soft fifth place opening of $18.5 million, a lower gross than the original film had.
Meanwhile, Pacific Rim continues its domestic box office slide, falling to sixth place in its second weekend with just shy of $16 million. The movie, which cost almost $200 million to make and millions more to market, has a current domestic cume of $68.2 million. It has, though, made nearly twice that overseas.
Here are the weekend estimates via Rentrak:
1. The Conjuring $41.5 million
2. Despicable Me 2 $25 million
3. Turbo $21.5 million
4. Grown Ups 2 $20 million
5. Red 2 $18.5 million
6. Pacific Rim $16 million
7. R.I.P.D. $12.8 million
8. The Heat $9.3 million
9. World War Z $5.2 million
10. Monsters University $5 million
