Following the remarkable success of the Disney Pixar film Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4 has a flying start at the summer box office. Per multiple reports, Despicable Me 4 is on track to beat Dune 2’s $82.5 million and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’s $80 million opening weekend haul at the domestic box office.

Animation movies have dominated the box office this year ever since Disney and Pixar’s animated sequel “Inside Out 2” earned $155 million in its first weekend of release. Now, Despicable Me 4 is all set to pass the major $100 million milestone over the long 4th of July weekend.

Despite witnessing a 24.4% drop on Thursday, the 4th of July Holiday, the latest chapter in Universal and Illumination’s wildly successful animated franchise came back swinging on Friday, recording a 32.4% Boost. Per box office pundit Luiz Fernando, Despicable Me 4 earned $47.6 million on Wednesday and Thursday. Gru and his millions ruled the box office on Friday, accumulating $27 Million.
