Days after its July release, the Illumination/Universal film helped push the Despicable Me Franchise past the $5 billion mark globally, making it the highest-grossing franchise of all time. After becoming the third highest-grossing film of 2024 earlier this month, Despicable Me 4 has now pushed the franchise past the $5.5 Billion mark.
Nearly two months after its release, Despicable Me 4 crossed the $900M mark globally after grossing $12.3 million overseas over the weekend. The film has earned $559.6 million overseas and $354.1 million stateside for a $913.8 million worldwide cume.
The movie has earned over eight times its $100 million budget and is surprisingly the second worst-performing film in the six-film franchise.
