In another victory for moviegoing in North America, Minions raced to an estimated $115.2 million debut to nab the second-biggest weekend of all time for an animated title, not accounting for inflation.
That includes a $46.2 million Friday, the best opening day in history for an animated film in North America. Overseas, where the prequel began rolling out in select markets two weekends ago, Minions is already a blockbuster, although weekend numbers weren’t immediately available. Through Friday alone, it had earned north of $200 million.
