Trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s box office report stated that Despicable Me 4 grossed a solid $7.2 million on its third Friday in North America. It faced a drop of just 47.2% from last Friday despite losing 337 theatres. At this point, back in 2010, Despicable Me dropped 26.5% and earned $7.5 million. However, the fourth movie will surpass the first one’s domestic haul very soon, even before this weekend ends.
Despicable Me 4 has the 3rd biggest third Friday only under Inside Out 2 and Dune 2. It has hit a $242.9 million US cume, and the entire domestic run of Despicable Me was $251.6 million, and it was released in 2010. The 2024 release will beat that in no time. It will then go after Despicable Me 3’s entire $264.6 million US run.
The movie aims for $24 million-$27 million on this 3-day weekend in North America. Internationally, the numbers are impressive, too, as the film has collected $222.49 million, taking the global cume to $465.36 million. The movie will soon cross the $500 million milestone, and it was released in the theatres on July 3.
