I give it 5, but I'm biased. I'm not a big fan of the Ice Age, Madagascar, Minions type of animated movie. Seams like people who like that type of animation really enjoy the film. For me, thie biggest problem with Minions was that it didn't succeed in being that type of comedy. While it was definitely smarter than a Madagascar movie, it didn't have enough depth and storyline to satisfy fans of a more intellectual film.

I'm going to give it another shot.

A movie that is top 3 Sandler for me

Shhhhhhhh

It's ok, top 3 Sandler is still terrible.

Wait...Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Punch Drunk Love...heck, Spanglish...

Ok, top 4.

Does Grandmas Boy count? Than top five. I love Grandmas Boy.

Cartoon Brew:

The summer of Minions is still going strong. Last weekend, the film grossed $12.5 million globally, boosting its worldwide total to $989.4 million and making it the third highest-grossing animated feature of all-time. Minions edged out the $987.5M gross of Disney’s The Lion King for the bronze glory.

The current top-10 animation grossers of all-time are:

  1. Frozen (Disney): $1.27 billion
  2. Toy Story 3 (Pixar): $1.06 billion
  3. Minions (Illumination): $989.4 million
  4. The Lion King (Disney): $987.5 million
  5. Despicable Me 2 (Illumination): $970.8 million
  6. Finding Nemo (Pixar): $936.7 million
  7. Shrek 2 (DreamWorks): $919.8 million
  8. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (Blue Sky): $886.7 million
  9. Ice Age: Continental Drift (Blue Sky): $877.2 million
  10. Shrek the Third (DreamWorks): $799 million

Minions is now set to become only the third animated film ever to reach $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The film’s last major market is China next month, which will propel Minions past Toy Story 3′s lifetime total and earn second-place for the yellow henchmen on the all-time list.

Love’em or hate’em, Minions is a remarkable accomplishment for Illumination Entertainment, which is just eight years old. The studio’s next film, The Secret Life of Pets, will be released in July 2016.

Illumination is the now the ONLY movie studio outside DISNEY to have not just 1 but 2 films in the TOP 5 ANIMATED FILMS OF ALL TIME.

Also DESPICABLE ME franchise is the only animated franchise with 2 spots in the top 5 animated films of all time!

I was looking at the Ice Age and KFP numbers and one interesting comparison I found: while KFP is HUGE in Asia, it's not that popular in Europe or North America. Ice Age is HUGE in Europe and Latin America, while not that interesting in North America or Asia except China.

Minions is probably the only franchise, in addition to Frozen, that was HUGE in ALL CONTINENTS - Asia, Latin America, North America and Europe!

It goes like this:

Ice Age - Europe and Latin America only

KFP - Asia only

Frozen - worldwide: Europe, Latin America, Asia, North America

DM/Minions - worldwide: Europe, Latin America, Asia, North America

Wow! The OS of Minions is higher than all Pixar films. :)

The question is....will DM3 show Pixar, who's the boss in terms of hugely successful animated films?

 

Pixar has a strong track record and no one apart from Disney has done that well. Outside of DM and Minions,only The Lorax has been a hit and even that wasn't that successful OS. Illumination at this point are really relying on one franchise and that's risky in the long term.

If Minions breaks out in China, 1.2 billion might be even possible! With the first non Disney film crossing 1 billion, this is a major moment for animated films in box office history.

Not only is Minions the third animated film in history that reaches that mark - the major news here is that Despicable Me franchise is now the ONLY animated franchise EVER to have 2 spots in the top 5 highest grossing films of all time, with Illumination Entertainment becoming only the other studio (next to Disney) to have 2 films in the 5 highest grossing animated films of all time.

Also the Minions/DM franchise has a key strength point over IA (Europe/Latin America strong) of KFP (Asia strong): it is huge in all continents: North America, Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Australia – making it the only animated franchise, next to Frozen, to achieve sizable grosses in all these regions.
