Fox News
"Minions: The Rise of Gru" topped the box office this weekend, and is on track to become the biggest opening ever for the Fourth of July holiday.
"It's a tremendous debut," said Jim Orr, Universal's president of domestic distribution. "It’s playing very broadly across North America. Every single market doing extraordinarily well."
This is just the latest in a string of successes for Universal's family releases, including "Sing 2," which has grossed over $406 million since opening in December, and "The Bad Guys," which has made over $243 million. "Minions: The Rise of Gru," serves as further proof that family audiences are willing to go back to the movie theater.
