FRIDAY PM UPDATE: Illumination/Universal‘s Minions & Monsters is creating less frenzy then expected with a 5-day start of $63.5M in North America versus the $80M that was hoped.
Current 3-day is $38.5M at 4,243 theaters, making Minions & Monsters easily No. 1. Note some exhibitors noticed in their forecasts that the little guys could be this low. And yes, that’s the lowest 3-day and 5-day opening in the Despicable Me/Minions franchise. Previous 3-day low came from the first film back in 2010 which was $56.3M not accounting for inflation. This is the third time that Universal has opened the Despicable/Minions
