Despicable Me: Box Office Ratings So Far
The franchise of Despicable Me has been successful at the box office, earning over $1 billion worldwide. However, according to Rotten Tomatoes, Despicable Me 3 has suffered a critic rating of 56% and an audience score of 49%, making this installment one of the lowest-rated movies in the franchise.
Since characters other than Gru and the Minions haven’t appeared on the big screen in seven years, it’s anticipated that the fourth Despicable Me movie would have a higher rating due to introducing a fresh cast.
The success of the fourth chapter of Despicable Me may also impact the fate of Minions 3, which is most likely in development given the Minions subfranchise’s significant sales growth.
