‘Despicable Me 4’ Helps Franchise Make History And Is No. 4 On 2024’s Most Valuable Blockbuster List


Despicable Me 4, the sixth in a series of Minions and Despicable Me movies, got the franchise past $5 billion worldwide at the box office.

The Most Valuable Blockbuster series runs later rather than sooner as we gather the best data possible from seasoned and trusted sources on 2024’s event films, bombs, and low- to midsize-budget wins. While the world knows full well what a Minion is and a Gru is, Universal didn’t pinch one penny in shelling out $170 million for a global campaign, which splashed from the Super Bowl to the Kentucky Derby to French Open co-branded spots. The $100M production cost is pretty thrifty for a big animation title; Illumination always is known to manage its spends quite well, and as a result the studio always lands a spot in Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament.
