Despicable Me dethrones Twilight!

It’s congratulations all round to the people behind Despicable Me who can all say that they kicked the king from the throne after it knocked The Twilight Saga: Eclipse from the top of the US Box-Office after only just one week.

The animated comedy, which features the voice of Steve Carell, launched with a huge $60.1 million three day take, easily beating Eclipse’s $33.4 million — still a huge figure.

Predators and Toy Story 3 came in third and fourth respectively.

- Paul has been writing for film websites for over ten years. The Hollywood News was born out of love for film and his frustration at not being a very good filmmaker himself. Those who cannot do, write about – or so they say. Aside from the site, Paul has directed a music video (badly), has one credit to his name on the IMDb, enjoys running, driving (now that he has finally passed his test at the age of 33), and of course going to the movies.
