I get MinaTakla is hyped about DM3’s and loves Illumination, it’s just that DM3 reaching $1B isn’t a surprise to anyone. It has nothing to do with biases. Had Pets or Grinch made $1B, that’d be an impressive run. There’s also far more impressive runs this year like IT, WW, Dunkirk, Beast, and Get Out. However I will give DM3 this, aside from Boss Baby and Lego Batman, it was the only really successful animated movie this year.
