Hey there, movie buffs! Excited about the upcoming weekend? You should be! Our favorite big screen heroes are raring to go with some pretty impressive projected sales. Let’s dive right in!
Hooray for Despicable Me 4
First up is Despicable Me 4. Get ready for a tidal wave of fun as it’s predicted to make a smashing $120 million in its first five days. Hold on to your popcorn! This weekend alone, it’s expected to take home a cool $72 million.
It seems like our little yellow friends might not have topped their previous epic installment, Minions: The Rise of Gru, but they’re still putting up a tasty fight. It clinched a staggering $107 million in just three days back in 2022.
For sure, these figures are still a win for our friends at Illumination. Especially when they’re competing with the likes of Pixar’s Inside Out 2, one of the summer’s biggest hits.
Riding High with Inside Out 2
Inside Out 2, by the way, is still flexing its muscles. This weekend, it’s anticipating $33.1 million in the bag. The film crossed the half-billion-dollar milestone domestically this week – what a smashing performance!
The Quiet Week for A Quiet Place: Day One
Remember A Quiet Place: Day One? Yes, the one that sends chills down your spine. After a week-long run, it’s taking a bit of a dip. Down by 59% but projected to pack a decent $20 million punch in its second weekend.
MaXXXine Outshines X and Pearl
Here’s the real surprise. Ti West’s MaXXXine is sprinting towards an $8 million weekend, stealing the spotlight from its big sisters, X and Pearl, seamlessly. It could gross more in one weekend than Pearl did throughout its screening. A round of applause, please!
The Not-So-Bright Horizon
Next up, let’s talk about Kevin Costner’s Horizon. With a slow start at the gate and continuing at a sluggish pace, it’s not igniting the box office excitement we all hoped for. A fair $5.9 million over the weekend, following a 47% slump. The total domestic gross might scrape in at $30 million, a bummer for such a highly anticipated western epic. Here’s hoping its sequel revives its luck in August.
Have your Say
So, that’s the low-down on what’s flashing on the big screen this weekend. Anything, in particular, you’re excited about? We’d love to hear from you!
Whatever your taste, whether it’s animation, suspense thrillers, or even an old-timey western, this weekend has plenty to peak your interest. As they say, there’s no such thing as dull trip to the movies!

Despicable Me 4 and MaXXXine are certainly the headliners for the weekend. Grab your seat and get ready for a roller-coaster ride of laughter, excitement, and suspense. We’re confident these figures will climb even higher, proving once again that the power of cinema never fades. After all, what’s better than a good movie on a relaxing weekend?
