Universal’s “Minions” emerged from their supporting role to take command of theaters over the weekend with a $115.7 million box office haul. The spinoff of the “Despicable Me” franchise focuses on the evolution of the subservient sidekicks from micro-organisms to henchmen to the world’s most evil villains. The animated movie easily beat out “Jurassic World,” another Universal film, which is in its fifth weekend of release and ranked a distant second with $18.2 million.
