Illumination/Universal’s Minions: The Rise of Gru snared a record-breaking $125.1 million over the 4-day Fourth of July weekend (besting the domestic total of Lightyear in one go), according to Deadline, proving that moviegoing is still very much alive and well.
This week sees the release of the anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder, which earned a glowing review from our site.
While Jurassic World earned another $19.7 million to raise its domestic tally to $335.8 million.
Minions will have the animated marketplace to itself for a few weeks before the release of Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank on July 15, followed by DC League of Super-Pets on July 29.
