Steve Burke:

Well I think we are concentrating very heavily on franchises and very heavily on animated film. One of the real gems inside our company is Illumination the animation studio led by Chris Meledandri and Despicable Me 2, which came out this summer is the most profitable film in the 100 year history of the Universal and there will obviously be another reopening a film called Minions, which are the minions from Despicable Me next Christmas and then there will be Despicable Me 3. And so the animation business we think is a very, very important part of our future at Universal Studios.

Will this be out for 2017? July 4th weekend for 2016 has Angry Birds and ID4-2 and 3 weeks before Finding Dory. Maybe the same weekend as DM July 8, followed by Ice Age 5 on July 15. Having an Illumination Project for February could mean DM3 for 2017. On the other hand the February 2016 could move to July 2016 and become DM3.

Well, after DM2 I'd say this has a legit shot at succeeding where TS3 failed, i.e. at beating Shrek 2 domestically.

Summer 2017 is likely as Summer 2016 is already chock a block with Dory, Dragon 3 and Ice Age 5. I do wonder how far they can go with the franchise before it goes stale.

If they can connect Minions to DM3 in a meaningful way then $400m is a lock.  The studio should use Minions to set up DM3 and increase anticipation instead of having it be a standalone.  Just IMO.

Dunno but the 4th Ice Age film made nearly $900 million.  There is money to be made son!

[Killimano3]

Overseas I could see it increasing but idk about it domestically.

it'll depend on how well the third one is written and how much competition there ends up being

[Gopher]

Isn't the minions film DM3? Does anybody go to these movies for Steve Carell? 

[Jonwo]

The Minions movie is a spinoff and prequel to the Despicable Me films, I'm sure it'll do well but it won't do DM2 numbers.

[Killimano3]

Honestly if they'd just re-named Minions to Despicable Me 3 it probably would make a ton of money since pretty much every just saw DM2 for the minions anyways lol. Minions will just make less cause it's considered a spin-off

Is saying that Summer 2016 is to crowded and as of now 2017 is emptier. With a 2017 date will avoid IA5.

[John Marston]

Surprised it's not for 2016

[RobinHood26]

Good Release date. 

[acetabulum7]

Surprised it's not for 2016

 

I'm surprised too that they're not fast tracking this sooner.  What about July 29th 2016 as counter-programming to Planet of the Apes?

 

Maybe they're able to keep costs down by having a smaller production team, hence the longer wait.

[MovieMan89]

Well, after DM2 I'd say this has a legit shot at succeeding where TS3 failed, i.e. at beating Shrek 2 domestically. 

I'd say that's highly doubtful given that third films tend to decrease unless they're universally loved like TS3, not to mention this will essentially be acting as the 4th film in the franchise since Minions comes first. I'd expect the franchise to have Shrek 4 levels of burnout by the time this one hits. Will probably be the lowest grosser in the series.
