· 3 pulledTo date, Illumination's four Despicable Me films, which first introduced the Minions with original picture Despicable Me in 2010, and spin-offs Minions and Minions: The Rise of Gru, have grossed more than $5.6 billion
Arriving in cinemas in the wake of Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 5 and its near $600 million gross since June 19, all eyes are on whether Illumination/Universal's little yellow monsters can pull off a similar box office coup.
Minions & Monsters opens in North America today after a promising $10 million box office kick-off in 10 territories in Europe and Asia this past week.
