Minions: The Rise of Gru

It’s a ‘Mini-on’ miracle: No one can quite explain how it happened, but the yellow rascals are back on top. And that is not the only rise of an “old” movie.

As the Venice Film Festival, now in its 90th year since its founding and its 79th installment, heads into its conclusion amidst films and many celebrities, theaters have been experiencing a rather unimpressive week. The first weekend of September, with cities once again bustling with students and workers, saw a slight drop in revenue compared to last week (-8 percent), although compared to 2021, a +7 percent holds steady.

After months of undisputed dominance, Top Gun: Maverick was ousted from the Italian box-office podium this week by the three new releases: Minions 2, Bullet Train - an action comedy starring Brad Pitt - and Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg's directorial comeback. With another €3.

China changed the ending of Minions: The Rise of Gru to a politically correct one, and Universal Pictures had no comment. On screenshots shared by users of Weibo, China’s premier social media platform, moviegoers in China showed the altered ending.

Despicable yet adorable, the Minions came to rescue Italy's box office. After sluggish weeks, audiences flocked back to theaters for the animated new entry Minions 2 - The Rise of Gru.

China Daily reported the remarks of a Chinese official who was asked whether the tension between China and the US is having an impact on the import of Hollywood movies. Sun Yeli, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China responded at a news conference in Beijing, “We are ready to introduce foreign films from any country as long as it can produce good films that cater to the needs and interests of Chinese audiences.

Gru is definitely rising. After weeks of slumping revenues, Minions: The Rise of Gru has brought a breath of fresh air.

For the second week in a row, Thor: Love and Thunder is again number 1 at the box office in France. Directed by Taika Waititi with Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Christian Bale, the movie is about Thor fighting Gorr the God Butcher who intends to make the gods extinct.

The Minions are ruling again. Germany’s and Austria’s summer box office defies all logic, and insane heatwaves are only partly to blame.

Esta semana la taquilla global se ha mantenido leal a Thor: Love And Thunder de Disney/Marvel, película que lideró el fin de semana de taquilla internacional en su segunda semana, con 60. 1 millones de dólares adicionales en 47 territorios internacionales.
