Minions set an absolute record in USA
The cartoon from Illumination Entertainment, which is distributed by Universal, has set a new box office record for a premiere weekend. According to the official press release of UNIVERSAL PICTURES INTERNATIONAL RUSSIA, the animated movie earned 864.8 million rubles. At the same time, a record number of tickets was also sold - 3.5 million pieces. Previously, the absolute record belonged to another project of the Universal studio - "Fast and Furious 7", which started in the USA box office with the result of 857 million rubles. Recall that in North America "Minions" earned 115.2 million dollars in the premiere weekend, thus demonstrating the second start in the history of animation. The worldwide box office at the time of this writing is close to $ 400 million, which is more than enough for a payback. The cartoon's production budget was only $ 74 million. This is a very modest amount for a modern animated movie. Many popular Hollywood actors took part in the work on the picture, in particular, Sandra Bullock, John Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janny, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders, Geoffrey Rush, Steve Carell, Pierre Coffen, Katie Mixon and others.
