woops, I only looked at the initial release date (which was overseas) of July 5.
Still, Despicable Me shouldn't KILL Pacific Rim, considering one is a family movie and the other is supposed to draw the Transformers audience, which don't overlap too too much.
I'm guessing most 12-19 boys didn't run out to watch Despicable Me 2 (and from box office numbers, they didn't kill themselves to see Pacific Rim either). I maintain that PacRim had as little competition as a film can hope for in the summer season.
