'Despicable Me 4' Tops Box Office with $122M

'Despicable Me 4' topped the box office over the Fourth of July weekend, grossing an estimated $122 million in the U.S. and Canada and $229.5 million globally. The film's success is attributed to its strong family appeal and economical $100 million production budget, making it highly profitable for Universal and Illumination. Despite facing stiff competition from Disney and Pixar's 'Inside Out 2,' which has grossed over $1 billion globally, 'Despicable Me 4' has revitalized box office numbers, marking a significant rebound for theaters. Other notable performances include Paramount's 'A Quiet Place: Day One' and A24's 'MaXXXine.' While some critics argue the film feels like a retread, its commercial success suggests otherwise.
