Minions & Monsters Opens With $13.75M Wednesday

Illumination and Universal's animated film 'Minions & Monsters' generated an estimated $13.75 million on its opening Wednesday in the United States, according to box office tracking.

This figure represents the film's gross revenue for the day without the benefit of any preview screenings. The movie is the latest installment in the highly successful 'Despicable Me' and 'Minions' franchise, which has collectively grossed over $5.6 billion globally.

'Minions & Monsters' is produced by Chris Meledandri and directed by Pierre Coffin. Its strong opening day performance positions it as the number one film at the U.S. box office for Wednesday. The franchise has a proven track record of significant box office success, with this seventh title expected to continue that trend.

The film's performance on its opening day suggests substantial audience interest and a positive reception, contributing to the franchise's ongoing financial strength. Further box office results for the opening weekend are anticipated to provide a clearer picture of its overall commercial impact.
