There was a box office tie last week. However, the results are evident this weekend as Minions: The Rise of Gru takes the top spot at the domestic and worldwide box office.
The fifth Despicable Me film grossed around $105 million in three days and is expected to gross $127.9 by the end of the July 4 weekend.
Worldwide, Minions: The Rise of Gru grossed $93.7 million, bringing its three-day international total to $202 million.
Minions: The Rise of Gru brings another domination as the highest-grossing animated movie franchise, which Despicable Me has earned since 2017. It might also take the title as the all-time highest July 4th opening – if the estimates hold, it will exceed Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 2011.
