The Despicable Me franchise secured another box office victory this weekend as Minions & Monsters claimed the top spot with $160 million in opening weekend earnings. The performance, however, represents the weakest debut in the franchise's history, indicating a possible decline in audience appetite despite the film outperforming other major releases in circulation.

Streaming platform Netflix has capitalised on Spider-Man's upcoming theatrical return by adding Spider-Man: Homecoming to its catalogue. The 2017 film, which introduced audiences to Tom Holland's portrayal of the young web-slinger balancing teenage life with superhero duties, is being recommended as essential viewing before the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31st. The original received widespread critical praise and featured supporting performances from Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Keaton.
