Minions & Monsters Delivers A Solid Rs 7 Crore Opening Weekend At The Indian Box Office

Illumination’s animated adventure “Minions & Monsters” has wrapped up its opening weekend in India with a gross collection of Rs 7.05 crore — a genuinely encouraging number, considering how limited the market for Hollywood animated films typically is in the country.

The film opened with Rs 1.80 crore (including Rs 55 lakh from previews), then climbed steadily with Rs 2.50 crore on Day 2 and Rs 2.75 crore on Day 3 — a positive upward trend across the weekend rather than a front-loaded opening.

For context, animated films rarely pull big numbers in Indian theaters, making this a fairly solid start. The real test now shifts to how the film holds up on Monday and through the weekdays — especially since it’s received mixed audience reactions, which could affect its momentum going forward.

This win adds to what’s been a genuinely strong year for Hollywood at the Indian box office, with several non-franchise releases outperforming expectations — think Project Hail Mary, The Mummy, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and Obsession. That said, not every release has kept the streak alive, with Toy Story 5 and Supergirl struggling to match that same success. All eyes are now on whether Minions & Monsters can carve out a surprising run of its own.

This pattern reflects a broader shift in how Hollywood box office performance is increasingly shaped by original, non-IP content connecting with global audiences beyond just franchise sequels.
