Franchise Fatigue Hits Despicable Me Spin-off as Minions & Monsters Opens Softly

Universal/Illumination’s Minions & Monsters opened to $36 million domestic over the July 4 weekend, the franchise’s lowest start, with $64.5 million since Wednesday and $159.8 million global after international play; at the same time, Supergirl plunged about 74% in its second weekend to $9.6 million, underscoring ongoing challenges for non–A‑list superhero titles. Still, the summer box office is up vs. last year and 2019, helped by Toy Story 5’s strength and upcoming releases like Moana, as industry eyes a rebound despite fatigue around long-running franchises.

He thinks recent superhero movies have become lazy and generic, with too much emphasis on spectacle. Gunn is currently working on his "Superman: Legacy" film, with auditions already taken place. The comments come as "The Flash" is projected to lose the studio around or just over $200 million, putting it on par with other expensive studio flops.

Franchise Fatigue Evident in Year's Worst Sci-Fi Reboot.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the latest installment in the Transformers franchise, fails to live up to expectations and proves that franchise fatigue has set in. Directed by Steven Caple Jr., the film lacks the maximalist flair of Michael Bay's previous entries and the tenderness of 2018's Bumblebee. Despite a charismatic performance by Anthony Ramos and an all-star voice cast, the film's surface-level depiction of New York's Afro-Latino communities and lackluster energy make it one of the lesser entries in the franchise.
