The Rise of Gru, which features the voices of Steve Carell, Taraji P. Henson, and Michelle Yeoh, won over audiences with a straight-A CinemaScore grade, while snagging a robust $22,005 per-screen average in 4,931 theaters. The little guys fared nearly as well overseas, where the movie opened to $93.7 million, putting its worldwide gross for its first three days at $202.2 million. Where will the Minions go from here? It’s too early to tell, but for comparison’s sake, their first 2015 outing finished its theatrical run with $336 million domestically and $1.16 billion worldwide.
