re: Minions Rise of Gru More Than Doubles Lightyear on Thursday Preview Screening Revenue

Was a good family movie with nothing controversial. Only negative was two woke Dove commercials during the previews, one about hair discrimination and the other was either body wash or lotion (didn’t really take note of the product) with a random assortment of characters either in the shower or prancing around in their drawers.

The Minions Sequel is Taking the Box Office By Storm, Prepare Yourselves

As reported by Variety, the film’s expected to lock in an Independence Day four-day record of $129.2M before the holiday weekend is said and done. Right now, its $108.5M gross (at time of writing) for a typical three-day weekend already makes it the highest domestic start for an animated film since Frozen 2 back in 2019. It also has a pretty good chance of becoming Illumination’s highest domestic opener ever, should it beat the $115.7 three-day open of the original Minions back in 2015.
