With a total that exceeds its nearest competitor’s mark by a multiple of greater than 6x, “Minions” easily claims #1 at the weekend box office.<\/p>\n

Based on studio estimates, “Minions” earned $115.2 million during its first weekend of release. Comfortably better than the opening week totals generated by “Despicable Me” and “Despicable Me 2,” it also obliterates the $18.1 million earned by #2 film “Jurassic World.”<\/p>\n

“Inside Out,” which claimed victory at last weekend’s box office, slips to #3 on the strength of its $17.1 million. “Terminator: Genisys” ($13.7 million) and modest new release “The Gallows” ($10.0 million) claim the next two respective Top 5 slots.<\/p>\n

New release “Self\/Less” did not start nearly as well as “The Gallows,” let alone “Minions.” The flop ranks #8 thanks to a mere $5.4 million in receipts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[36,1050],"tags":[4525,455,4396,4378,4526,4524,4481,4523],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n"Minions" Easily Claims #1 at Box Office, "Self\/Less" Bombs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"With a total that exceeds its nearest competitor's mark by a multiple of greater than 6x, "Minions" easily claims #1 at the weekend box office.
