'Despicable Me 4' set to steal hearts and box office records
The minions are back, and they’re ready to conquer the silver screen once again! Universal and Illumination Entertainment’s latest animated offering, "Despicable Me 4," is set to explode onto theater screens this July 4. Get ready, because Gru and his yellow henchmen are about to light up the box office with their trademark mischief and heartwarming antics.
"Despicable Me 4" is the sixth installment in the beloved franchise, and industry insiders are buzzing with anticipation. Early projections suggest that the film will rake in a jaw-dropping $100 million to $125 million during its five-day holiday run. Not too shabby for a bunch of mischievous minions, right?
While "Despicable Me 4" is poised to dominate domestic charts, it faces a formidable opponent: Disney and Pixar’s "Inside Out 2." The emotional rollercoaster sequel has already pulled in an impressive $154 million over three days, making it the reigning champion of 2024. But can it hold its ground against Gru’s crew? Only time will tell.
Speaking of milestones, "Inside Out 2" recently shattered the $1 billion mark worldwide, becoming the fastest animated film to achieve this feat. Will "Despicable Me 4" follow suit? Fans are crossing their fingers!
The Fourth of July weekend has become synonymous with Minion madness. Remember 2022’s "Minions: The Rise of Gru"? That spinoff sequel burst onto the scene, setting a new record for the highest film debut over Independence Day with a whopping $123 million in just five days. Talk about fireworks at the box office!
Let’s not forget the franchise’s earlier hits. "Despicable Me 3" (2017) kicked off the summer festivities with a cool $99 million, while "Despicable Me 2" (2013) brought in $83.5 million. Back in 2010, the original "Despicable Me" stole hearts and wallets with a respectable $56 million opening. Clearly, Gru and his crew have mastered the art of holiday domination.
So, whether you’re a die-hard Minion fan or just looking for a delightful escape from reality, mark your calendars for "Despicable Me 4." Get ready to laugh, cry, and cheer as Gru, the girls, and those banana-loving sidekicks embark on their latest adventure.
