Despite its box office win, the opening weekend performance of 'Minions & Monsters' has raised questions about potential franchise fatigue. The film's Friday earnings were reported at $16 million, with projections for the full weekend initially aiming for $39.5 million. The final tally of $61 million fell short of these expectations and marked the lowest debut for the franchise.
