‘Despicable Me 4’ still No. 1 in box office, helping animated franchise become first to reach B

The Minions deserve a medal.

“Despicable Me 4” was No. 1 in the box office on its second Friday in theaters, earning $13.6 million, The Numbers reported.

The sixth installment in the “Despicable Me” franchise, which stars its Minions, a species of little yellow henchmen, helped the franchise to become the first animated one to reach $5 billion at the global box office, according to Deadline.

The horror movie “Longlegs,” starring and produced by Nicolas Cage, came in second, with sales of $10 million.

The Post called the film, where Cage plays a serial killer, “one of the best horror movies of the past several years.”

On Wednesday, it surpassed 2018’s “Incredibles 2” to become Pixar’s biggest worldwide earner of all time, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

“Fly Me to the Moon,” a rom-com drama starring A-listers Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, landed in fourth, with close to $4.5 million in revenue.

In fifth place was “A Quiet Place: Day One,” which fell two spots from last Friday, with $3.6 million in revenue.
