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

So like if the minions have existed since the beginning of time serving only evil they must have done at least a few truly despicable things right? like tortured innocents and stuff. there's gotta be a few bits in the movie of them working at a concentration camp or hammering the nails into Jesus's hands.

Well, I'm sure they tried...

[Blankments]

I hate the Minions, but Cinemark is actually playing a funny cell phone ad that might get me to go see this movie

 

(Just kidding, but I legit might go see it depending on reviews)

They're the ones who appeared to Eve in the garden and told her to bite the apple. Shh, don't tell anyone.

This franchise is pretty much the "But not too evil" trope incarnate. When they say "evil" they mean "mischievous"

I think they're the ones who destroyed the BOM forums. That was a capital crime there.

They're also the founders of iMDB forums.

And the writers for Michael Bay and Adam Sandler movies.

And Damon Lindelof's agents.

Got the new trailer at Pitch Perfect 2; it's cute but this is a "REVIEWS" movie

[MovieMan89]

I'm probably gonna sound like an old fart here, but the hanging scene bothered me in the newest trailer. Sorry, but probably not the best idea to be making a joke out of something like that in a kid's film. The impalement played up for laughs was a little much too I thought.

[Blankments]

Also, hearing a member of the GA (I qualify her as one thanks to her comment that my viewing of Paul Blart 2 couldn't have been that bad; she thought that movie would be funny) say the Minions have been overplayed recently made me ridiculously happy

Not a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, I take it? Damn you for forcing me to defend this Edited May 26, 2015 by tribefan695

Is there a comedic hanging scene in that I'm forgetting?

[AniNate]

I don't remember, but it pretty much lives on macabre humor, so I'm not sure what makes this so much more disturbing

The movie is going to get its advertising into everyone's home. No way will people not know that a Minions movie is coming out on July 10th. They have tied up with Amazon to have packages delivered in "Minion boxes". This is really smart advertising and getting awareness to as many people as possible

 

Bello! Look who could be arriving on your doorstep soon… #MinionBoxes http://t.co/SuCOSvgyXb https://t.co/xI7AL50XW9

Whatever is better than gold, thats what color medal Universals marketing team deserves. Like damn, theyve done brought Amazon into this. I wonder who came up with the Minions.

Like I wonder who was doodling and randomly drew a yellow bean with extremities and one eye and overalls and said "hey Universal, this little creature could be useful. It should probably speak gibberish though." That person has to be feeling good and living large.

Wow, that's good marketing. 2015 is Universal's year.

I thought that was really inappropriate too. But, I must admit I laughed.

About time Tic Tac and Minions team up. Is Grim and I the only ones that notice the marketing for this?

 

[PDC1987]

This is brilliant. Omnipresent marketing:

 

 

[Ezen Baklattan]

The Minions are pretty much a brand in and of themselves, so it's not really a surprise to see this huge marketing push.

[James]

It's freakin ridiculous. On social media I see people sharing the trailers for this every. freakin. day. No movie, ever, had that. This is blowing past 1B. Just wait and see.
