Minions & Monsters Poised to Rule July 4th Box Office

TL;DR
Universal/Illumination’s Minions & Monsters is projected to lead the July 4 holiday box office with about an $80 million five‑day domestic debut (projections range $60–$90 million) as audiences embrace the Despicable Me spinoff; Toy Story 5 is eyed for $35–$45 million in its third weekend, Young Washington targets $15–$20 million, and overall attendance may be softer this holiday weekend due to scheduling and World Cup distractions.
