From the Guardian:
Now at £27.6m, Minions is slightly ahead of Despicable Me 2 (£27.1m) at the same stage of its run, after three weekends of play. However, Minions is showing more consistency in its performance: third-weekend takings of £4.15m compare favourably with £2.22m for Despicable Me 2 in its third session. Consequently, Minions looks on course to exceed Despicable Me 2’s final tally of £47.5m. Pixar’sInside Out, arriving 24 July, is the only fly in the ointment.
