Wait, are the Minions actually losing their spark?
- The low numbers for the new Minions movie.
- Why the box office is feeling a bit cold.
- Our thoughts on the bright yellow future.
We just saw the box office numbers for Minions & Monsters. It is a bit of a shock. The movie only made $61.4 million over five days. That sounds like a lot of money to us! But for this franchise, it is actually a record low.
People are worried. First, Supergirl had a hard time. Now, the yellow guys are slipping on a banana peel. Some experts think the magic might be fading. We hope that isn’t true.
We still adore the look of these films. The visual style is always so popping. It has a bright, neon aesthetic that feels like a party. The colors are bold and the monster designs are very creative.
Speaking of things we love, have you seen Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt dancing? It is pure happiness. Also, we love how Soni Razdan is protecting Alia Bhatt right now. That is real family energy.
If you need more fun, check out the Mahomes’ date night at the big Kelce-Swift wedding. It looked amazing. Now, let’s talk about what this means for the theater.
Our Take
We aren’t ready to say goodbye to the Minions. Sure, the opening was small. But kids still love them. Maybe everyone was just distracted. People are busy checking the weather tomorrow. Or maybe they are watching Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight play cricket. We think the yellow crew will bounce back soon.
