Wow. I have never been a fan of the DESPICABLE ME movies but I thought the trailer was good. The animation has improved too. And a dinosaur! lol

[GuardiaStar]

Haven't seen the trailer, but the advertisement caught my attention.

Expectedly solid trailer, but I just don't know how they're going to execute this. Feels like they're trying to cover a scope that's beyond the grasp of a 90 minute kids film, and I can imagine the minions' antics easily wearing thin when they're at front and center the entire time.

I'm sure they will introduce the other characters once they get to NY to keep things interesting.

the last banana joke made me laugh out loud.

[Donald]

This is gonna be great

[LexJoker]

$800M WW is the floor for this. People are crazy about minions.

The nature film parody angle is the perfect approach. This will do well, perhaps not as well as another DM movie (people do like Gru and the girls too, y'know)

I foresee 90/250 for this. Hopefully there is room for both this and "Inside Out" to succeed.

Excellent trailer. Gonna be another mega money maker. 300m possible?

[zackzack]

Minions have existed since the beginning of time. So...who are the minions?

[Black Hawk]

Really good trailer.

[forg]

Lots of social media buzz for the trailer, gonna be big

[eXtacy]

Looks terrible, not interested in the slightest

[teardropmina]

guess it's good time for a spin-off, riding on the success of DM2. however, without the main human characters/ family theme, and sidekicks taking center stage, not sure its overall boxoffice appeals.

 

the teaser is ok, but what happen after they arrive at New York should be the meat of this movie. need to know more. 

[pepper83]

This is gonna be huge.

  This is now my second most anticipated movie for 2015!

Sorry, I just can't help it

It's almost the same situation as with DM2 and MU. MU opened 13 days before DM2 and Inside Out opens 20 days before Minions. When DM opened the late legs for MU were gone. It started falling really ugly after that.

 

Still, it was Pixar's Monsters University in first place once again over another busy Summer weekend. The animated prequel dipped 45 percent to $45.6 million for a 10-day total of $170.4 million. That's a slightly better hold than Toy Story 3 (46 percent) or Brave (49 percent), and was way better than Cars 2 (60 percent). If it doesn't get completely obliterated by Despicable Me 2 this week, Monsters University should ultimately be able to get close to $300 million.

Inside Out has a bit more time to get money, which is good since it's not a known brand like MU. But it will likely won't have good late legs that are a pretty big deal for animations.

 

250M is the absolute floor for Minions. I see it making more in the 300M area. As for Inside Out, it should max out at around 220M, which is very good for it.
