Banana-fueled Minions Aim for $170M Global Weekend
Illumination's Minions & Monsters is forecast to gross about $170 million globally this weekend, with roughly $80 million domestic from about 4,000 theaters and around $90 million from international markets, including previews in the UK, Germany and Latin America. Overseas previews total roughly $10 million across 10 territories; China remains volatile, and Independence Day timing could shift the weekend. Directed by Pierre Coffin, the film extends the long-running Minions/Despicable Me franchise.
