Minions & Monsters Box Office Day 17: Adds $4.4 Million as Domestic Total Hits $127.2 Million

Pierre Coffin's latest Minions adventure, "Minions & Monsters," brings the chaotic little helpers back to the big screen for another round of globe-trotting, world-saving mischief. The 90-minute animated family comedy tells the rambunctious, ridiculous, and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, and then unleashed monsters onto the world. Their final task? Banding together to save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.

Coffin not only directs but also returns to voice the core group of Minions, including James, Henry, Ed, and Dick. He's joined by a stellar voice cast: Trey Parker as Goomi, Allison Janney as Olivia, and Christoph Waltz as Max. Jeff Bridges pulls double duty as Frank and Elwood, while Jesse Eisenberg voices Dort, Zoey Deutch plays Debbie, and Bobby Moynihan rounds out the ensemble as Phillips. It's a story of fame, folly, and friendship, all wrapped in the franchise's signature brand of animated anarchy.

The Box Office Story

The Minions may have saved the world on screen, but their box office power showed signs of a slowdown over the holiday weekend. While the debut was enough to win the top spot at the box office, it fell short of expectations for the once-dominant series.

While the international performance provides a solid foundation, the franchise-low domestic start signals a potential shift in audience enthusiasm that studio Illumination will be watching closely as the film continues its run.

At the Box Office

Minions & Monsters has grossed $127,164,465 at the domestic box office, 17 days into its theatrical run, while playing across 3,510 theaters. The film added $4,380,000 in its most recent day of release. Worldwide, it has taken in $318 million. It carries a reported production budget of $85 million.
