Box Office: ‘Despicable Me 4’ Suiting Up to $120 Million Five-Day Debut, ‘MaXXXine’ Scores $3.2 Million Opening Day


'Despicable Me 4' will rule the Fourth of July weekend box office as 'Inside Out 2' has now surpassed $500 million domestic.

Both of those features have gained a following since bowing in 2022 and that’s coming into play with the box office bump for “MaXXXine.” Reviews lean positive for the ’80s-period piece slasher, which sees Goth joined by a starry ensemble including Elizabeth Debicki, Lily Collins, Halsey, Michelle Monaghan, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon. Meanwhile, Angel Studios is back at the box office with the debut of “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trout,” a drama about a Texas minister and his church’s efforts in the foster care system. A year ago, the distributor was the runaway king of the box office for the Fourth of July with the child-trafficking thriller “Sound of Freedom.” Rivals expect some much more modest figures for “Possum Trout” though, projecting $6.7 million over its first four days from 2,200 locations.
