Great numbers!

The Despicable Me franchise is definitely the goose that lays the golden eggs for production studio Illumination Entertainment.

The first three installments were very well received by audiences, so it’s no surprise that the teams came back for a fourth installment. Gru then makes his comeback alongside his adopted daughters, his partner – now his wife – and his newborn baby, who bears the sweet name Gru Jr. The saga of the Despicable Me films would not be what it is today without the iconic Minions, who were entitled to their own film in 2015. But let’s get back to this fourth episode. According to media The Hollywood Grip The film would have crossed the $800 million mark in worldwide box office receipts. It was an excellent first month of operation at the time, as the film was released on July 10 and benefited from a $100 million budget for its production.

Nobody doubted the commercial success of Despicable Me 4

Because just like its predecessors, this episode is still just as entertaining and funny for teenagers as it is for adults. However, it seems that the press does not share the same opinion. On the reference site, the film receives a rating of 56% Rotten tomatoesBut this decline is not entirely new and experts had already determined that the formula could no longer renew itself since the third part and thus became superfluous.

Not a bad job

If Illumination can count on its flagship franchise, we must not forget that the production studio achieved monstrous numbers with the highly anticipated adaptation of the adventures of the mustachioed plumber, obviously the teams have good days ahead of them. We remind you, Super Mario Bros. The Movie

was a huge success, generating more than $1.3 billion in box office revenue worldwide, making it the third highest-grossing animated film in history Frozen 2 and recently Conversely 2. Illumination has a lot to offer, several films are already planned. Viewers can look forward to something in the theater Like Beasts 3, Everything in Scene 3 or even a sequel to the Mario movie, although we’ll have to wait a few more years to see it.
