Minions fatigue? Not at the international box office, where “Minions & Monsters” earned $85 million from 71 markets over the weekend and $98 million to date. That’s in stark contrast to the domestic turnout, where the “Despicable Me” spinoff notched a franchise-low $61 million debut over five days, including $39 million over the traditional weekend.

So far, “Minions & Monsters” has generated $159 million globally. Top territories are China ($16.3 million), Germany ($6.4 million) and the United Kingdom and Ireland ($5.8 million). Although the disappointing domestic turnout is cause for concern, overseas appeal has always been key to the commercial success of the “Despicable Me” franchise. International ticket sales accounted for 71% of overall returns for the first “Minions” spinoff in 2015 and 60% for the sequel, “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” in 2022. Those films were juggernauts with $1.1 billion and $940 million globally, respectively.
