Minions 3 Headed Toward Soft $64.5M Box Office Opening × Skip to main content By Aaron Couch Plus Icon Aaron Couch Film Editor More Stories by Aaron ‘Minions & Monsters’ Headed Toward Lower Than Expected $64.5M 5-Day Opening ‘Hey Arnold!’ Reunion Among Highlights of MultiCon 2026 ‘Magic School Bus’ Movie in the Works at Legendary with Elizabeth Banks Playing Ms. Frizzle Earlier this summer, Gen Z horror ruled the box office. Now animation is in control over the Fourth of July long weekend, but with an asterisk. Minions & Monsters is heading toward a $64.5 million, 5-day opening over the long July 4 weekend, and a three-day number of $39.5 million. While strong enough to easily take No. 1, that’s a comedown from two years ago, when Despicable Me 4 brought in $120 million for the five days. And in 2022, Minions: The Rise of Gru brought in $122 million for the five days. In its third weekend, Toy Story 3 continues to do strong business, and is coming in at No. 2 with around $32 million for a decline of 55 percent. It is expected to end the weekend with a massive domestic haul of $367 million or so, and it has already cleared $600 million globally.
