Minions: The Rise Of Gru Box Office (Domestic): Becomes The First Animated Film To Cross The $200 Million Mark After Disney’s Frozen 2!

Minions: The Rise of Gru, the fifth entry in the Despicable Me film franchise, had a strong second weekend at the box office. It opened with a record-breaking collection on the 4th of July weekend. Now, it continues to grow steadily, becoming the first animated film to rival Disney.

This animated comedy movie is a perfect watch for families and fans and saw the trend of large flocks of people dressed in suits and ties going to the theatre to watch Steve Carell‘s Gru in action. As the name suggests, it portrays the villain’s younger days when he just started.

Currently, Minions: The Rise of Gru is just an inch away from touching $400 million at the global box office, as per Box Office Mojo. It has been highly successful in the US and Canada as it has churned in $210 million stateside and another $189 million overseas. Though it now faces competition from Thor: Love and Thunder, the non-Disney animated movie has done quite well.
