The latest installment in the Despicable Me franchise has been a phenomenal success, raking in a remarkable $500 million internationally in its 48th day in theaters. With a domestic total of over $340 million, the worldwide total for Despicable Me 4 now stands at a staggering $848 million. Despite strong competition from other major releases, the film has maintained its momentum, with only three days where its daily total dipped below the $1 million mark domestically. This is a testament to its enduring appeal, which shows no signs of slowing down.

The film’s financial success is not solely due to its marketing appeal, but also its ability to deliver the same laugh-a-minute energy and endearing story that made its predecessors so beloved. A star-studded cast and veteran animation team have worked together to bring to life a worthwhile addition to the franchise, despite its slightly flawed execution. Collider‘s Tania Hussain praised the film, stating that it “thrives on keeping the franchise’s appeal alive through its distinct style and verve, but faces some challenges in balancing the new with the old.”

Despite some shortcomings, Despicable Me 4 has become a delightful and entertaining addition to the franchise, offering enough laughs and heartwarming moments to satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers alike. The film’s story follows Gru and his family as they welcome a new member, Gru Jr., and face off against a new nemesis, Maxime Le Mal. The introduction of these new characters and situational comedies is somewhat disjointed and insubstantial, particularly towards the end, but the film ultimately understands its appeal and plays to its strengths.
