“Despicable Me” wasn’t such a bad guy after all, it seems, opening at the top of the box office with an estimated $60.1 million.

The first 3-D animated movie from Universal Pictures stars Steve Carell as the voice of Gru, a bumbling villain with plans to steal the moon — until three adorable orphan girls enter his life.

The weekend’s other new wide release, “Predators,” grossed $25.3 million to open at No. 3. Meanwhile, the previous weekend’s juggernaut, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” fell to second place with $33.4 million.
