Now less than one month ahead of release, the sixth installment in theDespicable Mefranchise just opened the floodgates for Minions worldwide. The officialFandango X accountrevealed thatDespicable Me 4tickets are on sale now, and also unveiled a new clip to commemorate the announcement. The clip shows off Gru preparing to tranquilize his"toughest threat yet,“when suddenly the tables turn, and he injects himself with the very serum meant for his enemy. Chaos ensues when this great threat, a honey badger, breaks out of its cage and wreaks havoc on the office, chasing Minions and knocking books off the shelf.
It’s been a big few weeks forDespicable MestarSteve Carell, who has voiced Gru in all threeDespicable Memovies and bothMinionsspin-offs since the franchise premiered in 2010. It was recently announced thatCarell would headline a new comedy series for HBO produced byTed LassocreatorBill Lawrence, which is set to follow a college professor (Carell) who works on campus and struggles to connect with his daughter, who is a student. Carell is also one of the stars in theJohn Krasinksi-directedIF(Imaginary Friends), which also starsRyan Reynolds,Emily Blunt,Bradley Cooper,Bill Hader, andMatt Damon.
Will ‘Despicable Me 4’ Save the Summer Box Office?
There’s been a lot of conversation surrounding the state of the box office with recent, big budget movies such asFuriosa: A Mad Max SagaandThe Fall Guyfailing to generate the box office draw that many movie fans expected. However, since its premiere on May 24,The Garfield Moviehas been snacking at the box office, recently passing the $150 million mark worldwide on a budget of $50 million.
The success ofThe Garfield Moviebodes well forDespicable Me 4, an animated film with a franchise history of making a big splash at the box office. The most recent spin-off,Minions: The Rise of Gru, grossed $370 million domestically and $569 million overseas for a worldwide total of more than $940 million. IfDespicable Me 4is able to find similar success, it could very well supplantDune: Part Twoand finish its theatrical run as the highest grossing movie of 2024 thus far.
Despicable Me 4arrives exclusively in theaters on July 3. Stay tuned to Collider for future coverage of the film and get your tickets below.
