Minions & Monsters Box Office Day 20: Adds $1.8 Million as Domestic Total Hits $138.2 Million

Minions & Monsters brings the chaotic, yellow henchmen back to the big screen for another round of globe-trotting mayhem. Directed by longtime franchise voice Pierre Coffin, this 90-minute animated adventure-comedy tells the rambunctious, ridiculous, and supposedly true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, and then unleashed monsters onto the world, forcing them to band together to save the planet from the chaos they created.

The voice cast is a blend of franchise stalwarts and new talent. Pierre Coffin returns as the voice of the Minions themselves, alongside characters James, Henry, Ed, and Dick. He's joined by South Park co-creator Trey Parker as Goomi, Oscar winner Allison Janney as Olivia, and two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz as Max. The ensemble is rounded out by Jeff Bridges (voicing Frank and Elwood), Jesse Eisenberg as Dort, Zoey Deutch as Debbie, and Bobby Moynihan as Phillips. It's a tale of hubris, havoc, and tiny yellow redemption.
