Minions | 7.10.2015 | Crosses 1 BILLION Worldwide. Beats Toy Story 3 on the all-time chart.

The $1B for Minions is on its way.

Third animated film to get there, soon.

...does Shay live in our reality? Is there some sort of Rick-and-Morty-esque dimension-hopping computer that he uses?

More like you've entered the Shay Zone. Once you're in there's no way out.

I think DM3 will be the better movie, when it comes out 2 years from now.

They could still deliver some great story ideas for Gru and the girls. Something with lots of heart and appeal for adults.

Audiences are way, way, way more forgiving to a clear-as-day spinoff movie than they would be to say, Shrek the Third.

[Blankments]

I can only imagine your meltdown if this gets nominated for Best Animated Feature

I mean, it's not like there's any competition outside of the two Pixar movies and Shaun the Sheep. Maybe Peanuts but Jury's out there.

 

I hold FREE BIRDS sacred. Is it for all the wrong reasons? Probably, but that film is amazing and I wish it made as much as Minions. 

If Free Birds made more than Inside Out, there would be no complaining from me.

are there no 2D animated movies releasing this year for Oscar season?

You're right, forgot to add the requisite 2D foreign film in release. IDK what it'll be though

[TStechnij]

What about Kauffman's Anomalisa? The Academy loves stop motion.

Next up is KFP3, Finding Dory and DM3.

heading for 800+ OS and 325 DOM....with better WOM it would have taken down Frozen...

[Planodisney]

No it wouldn't have.

It obviously isn't hurting OS for good word of mouth.

Good word of mouth would have taken it to 380-390 in the U.S. Which would put it at 1.18-1.19 billion.

Frozen ended at 1.275, still almost 100 million above a best case scenario for Minions.

Maybe The Boy and the Beast if it releases in the US in time.

but 800 os is not the best case scenario for minions...if china does 150-200....even with "just" 325 from DOM...

it could challenge frozen numbers..

[SteveJaros]

Wow, Minions isn't going to catch Inside Out domestically. It's not nearly as good as Inside Out, of course, but they hype was so overwhelming that I thought it surely would pass it. Oh well.

Depends how good the word of mouth is.

Well....there is still DM3. And I think that could be a better movie than Minions, critically-wise.

They could still have the time to give us interesting stories for the characters of Gru and the girls. But it needs to be something that could be emotional as well.

[Heat Vision]

From 1 to 10. How much is this worth watching?
