Minions & Monsters Edge Toy Story 5 in Tight Box-Office Weekend

Minions & Monsters narrowly tops the weekend box office, grossing about $61.4M domestically over five days (and $98.43M globally) while Toy Story 5 trails in close second; Angel Studios’ Young Washington opens around $20M and is projected to beat Supergirl in its second week. Supergirl underperforms, prompting internal studio analysis and a bake-off between versions. Obsession remains in the top 10 but drops from the top five, and the piece also notes on AI actor Tilly Norwood’s Misaligned project and a planned Young Washington sequel.

Angel Studios' Young Washington Smashes Opening; 1776 Sequel in Development

Angel Studios opened Young Washington to about $20.8M, the live-action studio’s best domestic debut and a record for its genre, with strong regional performance (especially in the Mountain, Midwest, Southcentral and South) and an A CinemaScore with 81% definite recommend. Jon Erwin’s Wonder Project production and Angel’s partners helped drive the success, and a Revolutionary War follow-up, 1776, is already in the works, signaling a potential new chapter for the studio's midwestern-focused releases. The film stars William Franklyn-Miller with Ben Kingsley, Andy Serkis, Mary-Louise Parker and Kelsey Grammer.

Young Washington: A Polished, Grade-School Biography on Screen

“Young Washington” is a 1755 coming‑of‑age military drama from Angel Studios that follows a 23‑year‑old George Washington leading a militia against the French in the Ohio Territory. Styled as a tidy, grade‑school biography with a model‑handsome lead (William Franklyn‑Miller) and supporting turns from Ben Kingsley and Andy Serkis, the film aims for patriotic, neo‑traditional counterprogramming. It’s competently made and watchable but sacrifices historical nuance for feel‑good heroism, delivering a neat but not deeply historical portrait of Washington.
