Why did Minions & Monsters post the worst opening in franchise history despite great reviews?

Minions & Monsters just opened to $61M domestically over the July 4th five-day frame — the weakest debut in Despicable Me history, even below the original 2010 film. And it's not a quality issue: 90-91% on Rotten Tomatoes, A- CinemaScore, genuinely good reviews.

A few things stacked up instead — Toy Story 5 nearly matched it in weekend three ($31M), July 4th landed on a Saturday which usually hurts turnout, and the World Cup pulled some audience away. Overseas it's a different story: $85M international weekend, $159.8M global already.

Meanwhile Supergirl cratered -74% in its second weekend to $9.6M, heading toward a $100-120M loss on its $170M budget.

Is this franchise fatigue, or just bad scheduling luck?

Name an actor who was born for his role

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man.

He didn’t just play the role — his charisma, humour, confidence, and comeback story made it feel like he was born to be Iron Man.

Name one movie character that destroyed a franchise. I'll start: Kylo Ren. Adam Driver gave it everything he had, but the sequel trilogy never figured out what to do with him — and the whole thing collapsed under the weight of that wasted potential. Your turn.
