Read our review of The Lone Ranger here.
The minions are ruling the world, or at least the worldwide box office, as Despicable Me 2 has made $142 million domestic and $151.1 million overseas ($293.1 worldwide). The Lone Ranger has brought in around $48.9 million domestic and $24.3 million overseas ($73.2 million worldwide). It is yet to be determined whether or not the film will have much success in foreign markets, but it is going to take a lot of tickets to get it into the black.
