It seems we’ve reached the animation domination portion of the summer movie season, as the 2026 movie schedule has or will be ushering in the releases of big animated flicks. One of the latest titles to fit that bill is Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, which opened in cinemas nearly two weeks ago. The legacy sequel smashed records in its box office debut and, now, it’s Minions & Monsters’ turn up at bat. Early tracking numbers are in and, while the totals aren’t as big as TS5’s, the folks at Illumination may have reason to celebrate.
