## Resource

The Minions reign supreme again—snagging 1 at the box office despite their weakest opening ever, thanks to a tricky Fourth of July weekend timing. But don’t worry, family films are still dominating: “Toy Story 5” takes second with over $764M global, while “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” hits a massive $1B worldwide, becoming the first film this year to do so. With Disney’s live-action “Moana,” “The Odyssey,” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on the horizon, summer’s packed with animated and blockbuster action—perfect for getting audiences back in theaters.
