Two animated sequels arrived at the summer box office this week, each telling a different story about where audiences place their trust. Minions & Monsters claimed the top domestic spot yet fell short of expectations at home, finding its real footing in international markets approaching $100 million abroad. Toy Story 5, now at $764 million worldwide, continues its quiet accumulation of goodwill — a reminder that longevity in theaters is often harder to earn, and more telling, than a single weekend's crown.
