Huge for Minions 2. I'm genuinely shocked that there were a lot of people still willing to see those little things, especially after Despicable Me 3 dropped.

Somehow Minions 2 managed to open a bit higher then the first. Quite impressive. Also a nice drop for Elvis too, should make around 120m. Butler is definitely an Oscar contender now, and Top Gun: Maverick keeps killing it.

Why do I have to live in a century where Minions opens to more than 100 mil at the BO?

So, um... I'm just now learning that a lot of teenage boys are apparently going to see the Minions movie dressed in full suit for some Tiktok trend. My brother and I went to the movie theater yesterday and we actually saw a group of guys in suits, but didn't think anything of it because I figured they were coming from some event/function or whatever, but now I realize that this was most likely the reason.
Gen Z humor seems to elude me... though I like the theory that these teenagers grew up with the franchise and are somewhat embarrassed about their excitement for the new movie, so they're attempting to hide their excitement under a layer of irony.

The videos themselves aren't funny but there is an idea here, showing up overdressed to a trash movie. Although it would be funnier if it were tuxedos, like the scene in Step Brothers where they show up to a normal job interview in tuxedos. I've been to movies plenty of times in suits coming straight from work, it's not that abnormal.
But if this was like an Eric Andre Show prank sketch they could have made it funny.

Yeah, the fact that they seem to think it looks more abnormal than what other people think is what's funny to me. Like I'm imagining a group of middle-aged guys who decide to go see Top Gun on Friday after work to celebrate the July 4th weekend, head to the theater straight from work in their suits, and encounter these teenage boys in their suits going to see Minions who think they're "in on the joke" with them.

Minions is huge, and Top Gun: Maverick continues its legendary run.

I’m happy the box office is making a comeback this summer with Dr Strange, Top Gun:Maverick, Elvis, and now Minions. Should always be a place for the theatrical experience. Hope Nope gets in on the box office “Gold Rush”!

Why do I have to live in a century where Minions opens to more than 100 mil at the BO? Worse, both Minions films opened to more than $100 million.

Hope Nope gets in on the box office “Gold Rush”! Things are so much better than they were even two years ago, when something like The War With Grandpa Could top the box office was like 4 million. Things are really looking up.

Definitely rough going for that year and a half, but the rainbow at the end was absolutely worth it.

Apparently there are a lot of stories and videos/pics of some groups trashing theaters and dancing in the middle of the movie.
