What the hell is wrong with some of us gringos ? It's genuinely starting to bother me that I didn't think this movie was very good or funny and went into it with a totally open mind and a pretty decent DM fan. I saw it a 2nd time with my little girl hoping I would get it this time, but felt,the same. I guess I need help. :-)

Cartoon Brew:

 

The summer of Minions is still going strong. Last weekend, the film grossed $12.5 million globally, boosting its worldwide total to $989.4 million and making it the third highest-grossing animated feature of all-time. Minions edged out the $987.5M gross of Disney’s The Lion King for the bronze glory.

The current top-10 animation grossers of all-time are:

1. Frozen (Disney): $1.27 billion
2. Toy Story 3 (Pixar): $1.06 billion
3. Minions (Illumination): $989.4 million
4. The Lion King (Disney): $987.5 million
5. Despicable Me 2 (Illumination): $970.8 million
6. Finding Nemo (Pixar): $936.7 million
7. Shrek 2 (DreamWorks): $919.8 million
8. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (Blue Sky): $886.7 million
9. Ice Age: Continental Drift (Blue Sky): $877.2 million
10. Shrek the Third (DreamWorks): $799 million

Minions is now set to become only the third animated film ever to reach $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The film’s last major market is China next month, which will propel Minions past Toy Story 3′s lifetime total and earn second-place for the yellow henchmen on the all-time list.

Love’em or hate’em, Minions is a remarkable accomplishment for Illumination Entertainment, which is just eight years old. The studio’s next film, The Secret Life of Pets, will be released in July 2016.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Really glad it's doing...this well.

Thank you, OS.

So headed to 850-900m OS maybe? Holy shit.

I don't think 850m will be crossed OS

Am thinking maybe 840m OS at the moment. But you might be right!

In both cases it will be second only to FROZEN both WW and OS

FRANCE: Official weekend numbers are in..and Minions will pass 6 MILLION viewers in France this week. First movie to do this since 2012's Spectre and first animated film to cross that mark since 2012's IA4.

I was looking at the Ice Age and KFP numbers and one interesting comparison I found: while KFP is HUGE in Asia, it's not that popular in Europe or North America. Ice Age is HUGE in Europe and Latin America, while not that interesting in North America or Asia except China.

Minions is probably the only franchise, in addition to Frozen, that was HUGE in ALL CONTINENTS - Asia, Latin America, North America and Europe!

It goes like this:

Ice Age - Europe and Latin America only

KFP - Asia only

Frozen - worldwide: Europe, Latin America, Asia, North America

DM/Minions - worldwide: Europe, Latin America, Asia, North America
