to serve history's most despicable masters. After rolling
a Tyrannosaurus into a volcano, getting their
caveman leader eaten by a cave bear, crushing
a Pharaoh under a pyramid after constructing it upside-down, exposing Count Dracula
to sunlight, and accidentally firing a cannon into Napoleon while in Russia, the
Minions are driven into isolation and start a new life in a massive cave. After many
years, the Minions become depressed, restless, and unmotivated without a master to
serve. To regain their dignity and sense of purpose, Kevin, one fearless Minion,
decides to set out to find a new master and asks for help. Stuart, a musically inclined,
one-eyed Minion, and Bob, a young and inexperienced but enthusiastic Minion, are
recruited.
The trio journey to New York, when the year is
1968. After spending the day attempting to blend in, the
Minions end up in a department store for the night,
where they accidentally discover a hidden commercial
broadcast for villains advertising Villain-Con; a
convention for villains and supervillains in Orlando.
The trio hitchhikes a ride with the Nelson family and
impress them with their accidental villainy after being
chased by police. At the convention, they see Scarlet
Overkill, a female supervillain who unexpectedly hires
them and takes them to her home in England. They
phone the rest of the Minions to get them to join.
Scarlet explains the plan to steal the Imperial State Crown from the Queen of
England and promises to reward the Minions if they steal it but kill them if they do
not. Her husband, Herb, supplies them with inventions to aid in the heist, but they are
nearly caught when they break into the Tower of London, which leads to a chase that
ends with Bob accidentally crashing into the Sword in the Stone and pulling it free,
removing the Queen from the throne and becoming King Bob. Enraged that
somebody else accomplishes her dream of stealing the throne, Scarlet confronts the
Minions, so Bob abdicates the throne in her favor. Undeterred because she feels
betrayed, Scarlet imprisons the three in a dungeon to be tortured by Herb before her
coronation, but they escape with the intention to apologize to Scarlet.

Production
Universal Studios and Illumination Entertainment first announced in
July 2012, that the Minions from Despicable Me would get their
own spin-off film, then planned for a 2014 release. Brian Lynch,
previously known for co-writing another Illumination film, Hop
(2011), as well as DreamWorks Animation's Puss in Boots (2011),
was asked to write the film's screenplay, due to his prior work
writing for the theme park ride Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem.
On August 21, 2012, it was announced that the film would be released on December
19, 2014. In February 2013, Sandra Bullock joined the cast to voice Scarlet Overkill,
with Jon Hamm joining two months later as her husband Herb Overkill. On September
20, 2013, the film's release date was pushed back from December 19, 2014, to July 10,
2015, due to Universal's satisfaction with the successful July 2013 release of
Despicable Me 2 and desire to exploit fully the merchandising potential of a summer
film.

Box Office2
Minions grossed $336 million in North America and $823.4 million in other
territories for a worldwide total of over $1.159 billion. Worldwide, it is the fifth-
highest-grossing film of 2015, the highest-grossing animated film of 2015, the
fifth-highest-grossing animated film, the 21st-highest-grossing film, and the
fifth-highest-grossing film released by Universal Pictures. It topped the
worldwide box office for three consecutive weekends.
By breaking $1 billion worldwide, Minions became the first non-Disney
animated film, third animated film after Toy Story 3 and Frozen, and the 23rd
film in cinematic history to do so. Needing 49 days, it became the fastest
animated film to reach $1 billion, surpassing Toy Story 3 (75 days). This made
Universal Pictures the first studio ever to have three films earn more than $1
billion at the worldwide box office in a single year following Furious 7 and
Jurassic World. Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be
$502.34 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film,
making it the most profitable animated film of 2015, the most profitable
Universal Pictures film of all time and the second-most profitable picture of that
year overall, behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Heloo 12345
