Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's 'Despicable Me 4' brought in $75 million in the U.S. and Canada this weekend, marking another strong weekend for family films.
'Despicable Me 4' had a strong showing at the top of the box office this weekend as family films continue to drive returns for studios and movie theaters. The fourth installment of the Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment animated franchise raked in $75 million in the U.S. and Canada, according to three-day estimates from measurement firm Comscore. The movie opened Wednesday to $27 million and has now grossed an estimated $122 million.
Compared to Memorial Day weekend's dismal turnout, which prompted much hand-wringing among industry watchers, the extended Fourth of July weekend's strong results and varied movie options have been a 'stark and impressive difference,' said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. 'To see this total change in the box office shows how unpredictable the box office can be,' he said.
