Minions & Monsters opens second to Toy Story 5 in Brazil

The Illumination animated film *Minions & Monsters* premiered in Brazilian cinemas on July 1, 2026. In its opening day it ranked second at the national box office, behind Pixar’s *Toy Story 5*, which maintained the lead despite two weeks in theaters. The third‑place position went to Warner Bros. Discovery’s *Supergirl*.

Critics noted the film’s uneven pacing but praised its homage to the silent‑era of cinema and the continued charm of the Minions characters. While the movie offers a playful adventure that sees the Minions accidentally unleash monsters, reviewers said the rhythm falters in the monster‑chase segments, though the Minions’ affection remains a strong point.
