Illumination's animated film "Minions & Monsters" conquered the 4th of July weekend, but also severely underperformed. The release of a new family-friendly film clearly impacted "Toy Story 5", which took a steep dive, but still held on well enough to finish in second place. Meanwhile, Angel Studios' historical drama "Young Washington" opened in time for the holiday and scored a decent debut.
Read more about the weekend box office after the jump.
"Minions & Monsters" topped the weekend box office charts with $37 million in its opening weekend from 4,243 theaters, and a total of $62 million since its release on July 1. This is the worst debut in the entire "Despicable Me" franchise. The first "Minions" movie opened in 2015 with $115.7 million, while "Minions: The Rise of Gru" made its debut with $107 million in 2022. The four "Despicable Me" movies opened, in order, with $69 million in 2010, $83.5 million in 2013, $72.4 million in 2017, and $75 million in 2024. Being the seventh film in a franchise undoubtedly had something to do with how badly "Minons & Monsters" underperformed. Overseas, the new sequel adds another $98.5 million for a global debut of $160.5 million. On a positive note, it only cost $85 million to produce, which is pretty cheap compared to the Pixar movies, and should start turning a profit by next week. Both the critical and audience reception are positive (90% on Rotten Tomatoes and "A-" CinemaScore).
"Toy Story 5" dropped to second place in its third weekend, raking in another $30.3 million, but taking a 57.2% drop. The domestic total is now at $365.6 million, while internationally it raked in a total of $398 million, bringing its worldwide cume to $763.6 million against a $250 million budget.
The period epic "Young Washington" opened in third place with $19.3 million from 2,725 theaters, which is on par with Angel Studios recent releases like "David" ($22 million), "The King of Kings" ($19.3 million) and "Sound of Freedom" ($19.6 million). The film reportedly cost around $20 million to produce. The film received mixed reviews from critics (60% on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences enjoyed it ("A" CinemaScore).
"Supergirl" continues to stumble, dropping 76.8% in its second weekend. The film finished its second weekend in fourth place with $8.6 million, and has now grossed $57.4 million in North America, and another $42.5 million from foreign markets. That's a total of $99.9 million against a $186 million budget.
The Top 5 is rounded out by Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day", which is holding on remarkably well for a movie that at one point seemed like it would drop at an accelerated rate. Now in its fourth weekend, the film raked in another $5.7 million, dropping just 30.3%. The domestic total is now at $105 million, while internationally it raked in $111.2 million for a global total of $216.3 million against a $115 million budget.
