DESPICABLE ME III | 770.2 M overseas ● 1034.8 M worldwide

Great news from Corpse (Japan box office expert)!

 

Despicable Me 3 should have faded some by now, but the lack of any family or children fare at the market at the moment is giving it a late boost as it managed an increase in its ninth weekend of release. It exceeded ¥7 billion on Monday (yesterday), setting another record by becoming the only non-Disney/Pixar imported animated film to ever reach the milestone. I also misreported the films' admissions last weekend in the Chart Updates, but that'll be corrected this week.

 

DM3 is also now #82 all time in Japan and #18 animated film of ALL TIME in Japan!

[MinaTakla]

In other milestones:

- DM3 has officially crossed Finding Dory in Japan.

- It will also cross $20 million in Italy tomorrow.

From the UK thread:

The 3 Despicable Me films (DM2, DM3 and Minions) are #3, #4 and #5 among the top 5 highest grossing animated films ever in the UK, making the DM franchise the only franchise with 3 films in the top 5 all-time animated list in the UK. 

[MinaTakla]

DM3 is now just 1 million away from beating BATB OS and becoming the #16 highest film of all time (animated or live action) overseas! Amazing.

CARTOON BREW

 

Speaking of animation franchises, there’s at least one company that has figured out how to consistently entertain global audiences. Universal/Illumination’s Despicable Me 3 added $2.9M to its global take this weekend, lifting its worldwide total to nearly $1.02 billion.

DM3 is now just $4M shy of overtaking Zootopia to become the 5th highest-grossing animated feature of all time.

A couple countries in particular on the tail end of DM3′s release schedule – Japan and Italy – have overperformed and driven the film’s continued strong performance at the global box office. In both countries, DM3 is the 2nd highest-grossing film to date of 2017, with over $64M in Japan and over $20M in Italy.

Despicable Me 3 has officially beaten Beauty and the Beast overseas!

MASSIVE achievement for Illumination and Universal who now have the #1 and #2 OS films of the year with Fast 8 and DM3! Wow.

Earlier today I ran an interesting showdown to compare how similar the Despicable Me franchise is to the Fast and Furious franchise, two franchises with consecutive 1-billion grossing films in 2015 and 2017.

And the results are in, with the Despicable Me franchise boasting a better retention rate from Minions to DM3 than FF8 to FF7:

DM vs FF Showdown:

 

FAST AND FURIOUS FRANCHISE

FF8: 1,238,000,000 WW with 225m DOM and 1,010,000,000 OS. (OS-China: 622.6m)

FF7: 1,516,000,000 WW with 353m DOM and 1,163,000,000 OS (OS-China: 773m)

FF8 retention rate to FF7:

DOM retention rate: 63.7%

OS retention rate: 86.8%

OS-China retention rate: 80.54% *exactly identical to DM3!**

WW retention rate: 81.6%

 

DESPICABLE ME FRANCHISE

DM3: 1,022,000,000 WW with 262m DOM and 760m OS (OS-China: 607.7m)

Minions: 1,159,000,000 WW with 336m DOM and 823m OS (OS-China: 754.5m)

DM3 retention rate to Minions:

Pretty great for DM3. But it's still second to Toy Story 3, in terms of biggest grossing animated threequels, WW-wise.

 

Gru's reaction when DM3 is still second:

Woody's reaction when DM3 couldn't top TS3, despite a higher OS-gross:

[MrFanaticGuy34]

But....on the other hand, in terms of top grossing animated films overall.

 

Gru's reaction when DM3 outgrossed/will outgross Zootopia, WW-Wise:

Judy's reaction when Zootopia was/will be outgrossed by DM3, WW-wise:

 

Well, at least Finding Dory is still untouched by DM3 for now:

[MinaTakla]

Big animation news! Despicable Me 3 has officially beaten Zootopia and became the 5th highest grossing animated film OF ALL TIME and the ONLY animated franchise with two 1 billion movies both in the top 5 highest grossing animated film list worldwide!

Major win for Illumination.
