Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Gru and his loyal yellow henchmen are preparing to light up the box office over the Fourth of July. “Despicable Me 4,” the sixth entry in Universal and Illumination’s hit animated franchise, is expected to bring in $100 million to $125 million during the five-day holiday frame.
It’s getting a jump on the weekend by landing in theaters on Wednesday. Based on current projections, “Despicable Me 4” will easily tower over domestic charts but likely won’t overtake Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” ($154 million over three days) as the biggest opening of the year.
The “Inside Out” sequel, which has topped the box office for three consecutive weekends, just became the first 2024 release to cross the $1 billion mark — and the fastest animated title to reach that milestone. “Despicable Me 4” will, however, provide another needed jolt to movie theaters.
After a slow start to summer, the domestic box office is finally gaining momentum — and there’s hope the bounceback will continue with “Twisters” (July 19) and “Deadpool & Wolverine” (July 26).
