The animated comedy-adventure Minions & Monsters continues its steady run at the Indian box office. On its 11th day, the second Thursday, the film collected an estimated Rs 45 lakh net in India. This marks a strong hold from its Day 10 collection and indicates sustained family audience interest during the weekdays.
With this Day 11 collection, the film's total India net collection has reached approximately Rs 8.30 crore. The film had a decent opening on July 2, with Rs 0.53 crore net on its opening day. It collected around Rs 4.75 crore in its first weekend and Rs 3.10 crore during weekdays, bringing its first week total to Rs 7.85 crore.
Directed by Pierre Coffin, who also voices the Minions, the film is produced by Christopher Meledandri and Bill Ryan under Illumination Entertainment. The screenplay is written by Brian Lynch, with music by John Powell. The film features an impressive voice cast including Pierre Coffin, Allison Janney, Jeff Bridges, Christoph Waltz, Zoey Deutch, Jesse Eisenberg, Trey Parker, Bobby Moynihan, and Phil LaMarr.
Set in 1920s Hollywood, the film follows the Minions as they attempt to create their own monster movie using real monsters, only to unleash chaos on the world. This is the seventh installment in the Despicable Me/Minions franchise, following the massive success of previous films.
In India, the original English version has performed significantly better than the dubbed versions, with the English version's collections far exceeding the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubbed versions. Circuit-wise, the South and Bombay circuits have contributed the most to the film's Indian collections.
Globally, Minions & Monsters has performed well, with a reported production budget of $85 million. The film's ability to hold steady on its 11th day is a positive sign, with the franchise's established popularity and family-friendly appeal driving consistent footfalls. All eyes are now on how the film performs through its second weekend and beyond.
