An animated film has done it again! “Despicable Me” joins “Toy Story 3” and “Shrek Forever After” in the ranks of animated flicks that have topped the box office this summer, reports EW.com.

The Steve Carell-starrer follows the journeys of a supervillain, who despite being mean, captured audiences’ hearts and wallets with a $60.1-million opening weekend.

“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” held on strong for second place during its second weekend, while new release “Predators” opened at $25.3 million, at third place but still better than previous “Predator” movies.

“Toy Story 3″ and “The Last Airbender” rounded out the top five, with the former surpassing the $340-million mark and becoming Pixar’s highest-grossing film (previously it was “Finding Nemo”).

What did tweeps think of this weekend’s new releases?
