In its debut, the animated film 'Despicable Me 3' became a champion at the North American box office. The film managed to suck up revenues of up to US $ 75.4 million or around Rp 1.07 trillion.
However, as reported by Kumparan.com, Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin's film revenues are still below Universal's expectations, which predicts its debut US $ 85 million to US $ 90 million. But in the international market, 'Despicable Me 3' earned US $ 95.6 million from 52 territories.
The unfair revenues of Gru and Minion films seem to continue the negative trends in franchise films in theaters such as 'Transformers The Last Knight', which in the second week of the show only earned US $ 17 million. That means audience interest is down 62 percent from last week.
