The blockbuster that was delayed in the high-profile pandemic finally hit theaters over the weekend, and Minions: The Rise of Gru Celebrated its two-year wait by breaking the July 4th box-office record with a weekend take of $127.9 million.
Animated family fare has been slow off the block at the pandemic-era box-office, with solid openings for a long time (the bad guys – $23M opening, $93M domestic gross. Tom Jerry – $14M opening, $46M domestic gross), mainly due to families’ reluctance to attend packed cinema on opening weekend during these uncertain times.
