‘Despicable Me 4’ Looking to Ignite Fourth of July Box Office With $100 Million-Plus Debut


Gru and his loyal yellow 'Despicable Me 4' henchmen will aim to light up the box office over the Fourth of July.

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. Directed by Chris Renaud and co-directed by Patrick Delage, “Despicable Me 4” brings back the voice cast of Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig and Miranda Cosgrove for more Minion mayhem.
