The
Minions movie, which has the devious henchlings seeking movie
glory in Hollywood's Golden Age, opened on Wednesday and earned
an estimated $61.4 million in its first five days, according to
studio estimates. The Minions are a popular franchise globally
and “Minions & Monsters” has earned $160 million worldwide in
its debut week.
Audiences looking for patriotic fare amid the United States'
250th birthday celebration had “Young Washington” to consider;
it opened in third place with nearly $21 million. The movie
focuses on George Washington's service during the French and
Indian War.
That left “Supergirl” in fourth with just under $10 million at
the box office, a steep 74% drop from its disappointing opening
weekend.
The weekend box office was down year-over-year about 24%,
according to figures compiled by Rentrak, though this summer is
up from 2025 by nearly 12%. That's due in part thanks to the
low-budget Gen-Z sensations “Obsession” and “Backrooms,” which
took the sixth and seventh spots, behind Steven Spielberg's
“Disclosure Day.”
