Gru and Gru Jr on the poster for Despicable Me 4.
The Big Picture Universal and Illumination’s Despicable Me 4is poised to top the domestic box office in its debut weekend by a wide margin. The animated four-quel will dethrone the mega-hit Inside Out 2, setting up a long overdue return to box office dominance for animated movies. Inside Out 2 has been breaking records over the last three weeks, and has already passed the massive $500 million milestone domestically, and the $1 billion milestone worldwide.
The Despicable Me franchise has always played to younger children, for whom reviews don’t really matter. The film holds a “rotten” 54% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, which unfortunately happens to be the lowest in the series' history. Including the two spin-off movies — Minions and Minions: The Rise of Gru — the franchise has grossed over $4.6 billion worldwide since its inception in 2010.
