It is the first of the three Minions movies not to cross $100 million domestically over three weekends. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film earned mixed word-of-mouth despite a 91% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics’ consensus states, “The Minions bring their penchant for mayhem to Hollywood history in this affectionate and charming sendup of moviemaking magic, turning out the franchise’s most roundly enjoyable entry yet.” But the audience rating is significantly below, with 76% on Popcornmeter.
