A lot of you skipped this one. - Author: Bill Kuchman - Tags: Popculturology • The Box Office Report, Popculturology, Minions, Minions & Monsters, Toy Story, Toy Story 5, Young Washington, Supergirl, Disclosure Day, Obsession Hello! Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of July 3-5, 2026. ## 1\. Minions & Monsters *Weekend gross: *$36.4M** *Total domestic gross: *$61.4M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** After ignoring the *Despicable Me*/*Minions* franchise for fifteen years, I finally saw one of the films in theaters this weekend. It turns out a ton of the rest of you went in the opposite direction, with *Minions & Monsters* opening with the lowest domestic debut in franchise history. With several of the *Despicable Me*/*Minions* movies opening over a July 4 weekend, it gets a bit tricky to exactly compare their first frames, but anyway you slice it, *Minions & Monsters* was a huge drop-off for the franchise. *Despicable Me 4* also had a five-day July 4 weekend, grossing $122.6 million over that period with $75 million of that total coming over the traditional three-day weekend. *Minions & Monsters* could only muster up $61.4 million over its entire five-day debut window. ![Popculturology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/02/popculturology-wordmark.png) Welcome to Popculturology!

Toy Story 5 *Weekend gross: *$31M** *Total domestic gross: *$366.3M** *Last weekend: *1st** *Percent drop: *56** *Toy Story 5* was roughly six million dollars away from holding onto the No. 1 spot over its third weekend in theaters. The Pixar film added another $31 million to its domestic total over the three-day weekend, moving past *Inside Out* ($356.4 million) to secure the No. 6 spot on Pixar’s all-time domestic rankings. The fifth *Toy Story* movie now sets its sights on becoming the sixth Pixar film to cross the $400 million mark. ALSO FROM THE OMNICOSM Love what you’re reading?

Young Washington *Weekend gross: *$20.8M** *Total domestic gross: *$20.8M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** I can’t remember if it was before *Disclosure Day* or before *Supergirl*, but when the trailer for *Young Washington* played and the moment the title card revealed who the film was about, people in the theater laughed. I guess *Young Washington* is now laughing at the doubters, with the Angel Studios biopic grossing $20.8 million over, appropriately, the July 4 weekend. Did this movie stick to [the fact that Washington would save children, but not the British children](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRom1Rz8OA&ref=theomnicosm.com)? ## 4\. Supergirl *Weekend gross: *$9.6M** *Total domestic gross: *$58.5M** *Last weekend: *2nd** *Percent drop: *74** Superhero movies suffering huge weekend-to-weekend drops has become pretty common in the post-*Avengers: Endgame* period. It used to be jarring to see a drop in the high-60s or the 70s, but *Supergirl* falling 74 percent since its opening weekend feels normal for the genre. Of course, if you’re going to drop 74 percent, you’d prefer it comes after a massive opening weekend and you’ve already banked a bunch of box office bucks. Falling 74 percent after [a disappointing $37.1 million debut](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-newsletter-supergirl-wrong/) is, well, even more disappointing for *Supergirl*.

Disclosure Day *Weekend gross: *$6M** *Total domestic gross: *$105.3M** *Last weekend: *5th** *Percent drop: *27** *Disclosure Day*, on the other hand, saw its strongest weekend-to-weekend performance. The **Steven Spielberg** film previously dropped 60 percent between its first and second weekends and 53 percent going into last weekend. Did [a bunch of boomers decide to see *Disclosure Day*](https://www.vulture.com/article/disclosure-days-box-office-reveals-a-new-generation-gap.html?ref=theomnicosm.com) on their vacation days? ## Beyond the Top Five - ***Obsession*:** It took eight weekends for *Obsession* to fall out of the top five. **Curry Barker**’s runaway hit grossed $5.3 million this weekend, finishing less than a million dollars behind *Disclosure Day*. The horror film now sits at $245.3 million in North America. *Box office numbers via The Numbers and Box Office Mojo based on Sunday estimates.* ![Popculturology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/02/popculturology-wordmark.png) Popculturology is a publication of **The Omnicosm**.
