Minions & Monsters Scores Low Premiere Amid Animation Battle

Minions & Monsters won first place at the box office in the US this weekend. It made $36.4 million. Toy Story 5 came second with $31 million in its third week.

However, this is not great news for Minions & Monsters. This amount is the lowest for this series. The first Despicable Me film made $56.4 million in 2010.

Supergirl dropped 74 percent in its second week. It only earned $9.6 million.

Minions & Monsters did well globally. It earned $121.4 million worldwide in its first weekend since being widely released, plus another $38 million from last weekend.

The film’s budget is $85 million, so it may still make a profit. This could allow for an eighth Despicable Me film.

Disney is doing well too. Toy Story 5 has reached $366.3 million in the US and $764.3 million worldwide. Supergirl, however, is not doing well.

Next weekend, other films may challenge Minions & Monsters for the top spot. These include a new version of Moana and a horror film called The Invite.
