Despicable Me 3 Box Office Recap. Dvd Movie Wish Upon (2017). New arrivals ruled the box office this Fourth of July weekend, helping a dry summer season bounce back with successful debuts. Coming in first is Despicable Me 3 (read our review), the fourth overall installment in Illumination’s flagship franchise. The film earned $7.

While that figure is nowhere near the $1. Minions, it is in the same ballpark as its direct predecessor – Despicable Me 2 ($8. The reaction was generally positive, though this threequel did not garner the same level of acclaim as earlier entries. That may explain the somewhat diminished returns, as does the fact Despicable Me 3 came out just a couple of weeks after Pixar’s Cars 3. The demand for a new family film wasn’t as high as it might have been at a different time of the year. Still, Illumination has to feel good about where things are at. For a high- profile studio release, Despicable Me 3 is moderately budgeted at $8.

Its global total is $1. What’s more is this is the last major animated project coming to theaters for a while, so Despicable Me 3 should have a monopoly over its target demographic for a number of weeks. It may not be able to contend with franchise sequels like Spider- Man: Homecoming and War for the Planet of the Apes, but it’s on the right track to be one of 2. Debuting in second place is Baby Driver (read our review), the new heist film from fan- favorite writer/director Edgar Wright. Released to universal acclaim, the original film brought in $2. Since it opened on Wednesday, June 2. Baby Driver will definitely be the highest- grossing film of Wright’s career.

No doubt, the widespread enthusiasm for this fresh take on a familiar genre gave it a boost to help its appeal, and is should have strong legs throughout its run. Cinephiles are going to want to see what all the buzz is about, and Baby Driver seems like the perfect antidote to big budget tentpoles. It’s emerged as a counter- programming option for those looking for a reprieve from genre pictures, so Baby Driver should do well throughout July. Falling to third is last week’s champ, Transformers: The Last Knight. Michael Bay’s fifth feature starring the robots in disguise made $1. To date, the film has made $1. U. S. Transformers has fared much better overseas, but the gigantic 8.

Friday- to- Friday drop in China indicates franchise fatigue may be wider spread than what Paramount initially hoped.

Now the DCEU’s most- lucrative offering, the blockbuster has made $3. Dunkirk (2017) Review. Rounding out the top five is Cars 3. Pixar’s latest earned $9.

Stateside total to $1. This could end up being a rare misfire for the animation powerhouse, given its production budget of $1. Worldwide, Cars 3 has grossed just $1. Disney really needs the merchandise to sell well in order to make this a worthwhile investment. The #6 film is new comedy The House (read our review), which stars Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler as a married couple who turn their friend’s home into an underground casino to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. Despite the pedigree of its stars, The House came into theaters with limited fan fare and wasn’t highly anticipated.

It made $9 million in its first three days, which isn’t entirely surprising as it was overshadowed by other new releases and did not score the best reviews. Coming in seventh is 4. Meters Down, which earned $4.

The shark attack film is now up to $3. In eighth is The Beguiled, Sofia Coppola’s latest film. It expanded to 6. To date, the drama has earned $3.

Tom Cruise’s infamous bomb, The Mummy, finished in ninth this weekend with $2. It is now up to $7. Capping off the top 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
