The distributor announced that the animated film «Minions and Monsters» will hit Russian cinemas on July 16. It becomes the seventh feature in Illumination’s «Despicable Me» series, following the Minions’ decision to create their own horror movie and search for monsters worldwide. The picture has already secured a 90 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the highest score among all films in the franchise, and marks a continuation of the popular yellow characters’ adventures. The release reflects the studio’s effort to keep the franchise fresh while capitalizing on the characters’ global appeal.
The «Minions and Monsters» installment joins a string of commercially successful entries that together form the highest‑grossing animated franchise in cinema history, overtaking classics like «Shrek» and «Ice Age». Its entry expands the timeline of the universe from «Despicable Me» (2010) through «Minions: Gravity» (2022) and «Despicable Me 4» (2024) to the upcoming 2026 release. The strong Rotten Tomatoes score signals both critical acclaim and audience interest, which bodes well for box‑office performance. Theaters are already rolling out promotional materials in anticipation of the July 16 opening, aiming to capture families and animation fans.
