Minions & Monsters North America Box Office: Expected To Record July’s 4th Biggest Wednesday Opening Day For An Animated Film

Minions & Monsters has been released in theaters, and its opening day is looking quite strong, according to the latest reports. It is expected to record one of the biggest Wednesday opening days for animations released in July. It will be a good start for the Illumination animation. The film has opened without any previews. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Directed by Pierre Coffin, the family movie is expected to entertain audiences and help the franchise bounce back so it can deliver another $1 billion banger. The animation is, however, tracking to stay below the Pixar movie, Toy Story 5, at the box office. It will also not beat Toy Story 5 or The Super Mario Galaxy Movie‘s three-day opening weekend.

Minions & Monsters’ expected opening day gross at the North American box office

According to Deadline’s latest report, Minions & Monsters has earned an estimated $13.75 million on its Wednesday opening day, with no previews. It is on track to earn the 4th-biggest Wednesday opening day for an animated film in July, behind Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs‘ $13.9 million. At the top is Despicable Me with $35 million.
