Minions OS Thread | 1 BILLION WW CROSSED!! | 6m weekend | $811.4m OS total

[Rudolf]

2015 has really bad OS numbers for the animated movies:

SpongeBob 148.6

Home 193.0

IO 117.3 (will grow but not overwhelming either)

2014 was even more terrible

BH6 429.6 (not so bad)

HttyD2 441.9 ( a lot less than predicted)

Rio2 368.7

Lego 211.0

Penguins 290.2

 

we need Minions doing well OS badly

[MinaTakla]

My current prediction (hope!)

345 DOM

675 OS

 

1.01 billion

[Asyulus]

My current prediction (hope!)

345 DOM

675 OS

 

1.01 billion

IMHO, China will inch it over $300m OS.

[MinaTakla]

IMHO, China will inch it over $300m OS.

Wow - what's your OS prediction for Minions? 

[Asyulus]

Wow - what's your OS prediction for Minions?

$820m OS.

[MinaTakla]

$820m OS.

Wow that would be awesome for an animated film - will be probably second best ever after Frozen?

Deadline

 

Illumination’s Minions added 30 markets and claimed the No. 1 spot in its 4th frame of release. The weekend was worth $124.3M offshore where the Despicable Me 2 spinoff now has an estimated cume of $280.5M. The global total thus far is $395.7M. Records continue to be set by the little yellow fellows with the top animated opening ever in 25 overseas territories.

 

Among highlights for henchmen Stuart, Kevin and Bob is Mexico and its $19.7M opening this weekend — the 2nd biggest ever for all films. With 79% of the market, it’s running 30% higher than DM2. This was the 2nd biggest market for that film.

 

The prequel also bowed in Russia with 73% market share and $14.3M in the bank. Universal now boasts the Top 2 openers ever in Russia with Furious 7 and Minions. Notably, Minions is the biggest opening of all time in terms of admissions (the ruble being extremely soft against the dollar these days). Minions also opened twice as big as DM2.

 

France, where DM2 was huge and this film has extra wanna see thanks to co-helmer Pierre Coffin, local animation company Illumination Mac Guff and, in the provinces, the famous local voice cast, has overwhelmingly embraced Minions. The No. 1 opening at $12.1M is not only the year’s biggest start, it’s also the best since 2012. It’s Universal’s biggest opening day and weekend of all time here. Admissions are 70% higher than Despicable Me 2’s opening.

 

Also of note, Venezuela opened No. 1 with $5.6M and set the record as the biggest opening weekend ever for all films. There are 11 more territories to release over the next two months.
