Top Box Office: Minions & Monsters Leads a Crowded Summer Chart
Illumination's Minions & Monsters holds the number one spot at the box office, fending off Toy Story 5 and Supergirl as the summer 2026 season hits full stride.
Minions & Monsters is the number one movie at the box office this week, leading a summer 2026 chart stacked with animation, superheroes, and legacy sequels. Illumination’s monster-movie pastiche has proven the season’s stickiest draw, holding off a wave of high-profile competition.
What is the number one movie right now?
As of early July, Minions & Monsters sits at the top of the domestic box office. Pierre Coffin’s film pairs the franchise’s reliable slapstick with an affectionate send-up of classic Hollywood horror, and its 78% Celluloid Score makes it one of the better-reviewed entries in the series — a rare case of a franchise sequel that critics and families agree on.
What else is in the top five?
Behind the yellow horde, the chart is a study in how broad the summer slate has become:
- Toy Story 5 — Pixar’s latest continues to draw the family audience, carrying the strongest reviews of the current top tier.
- Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow — the DC universe’s newest tentpole holds firm in the superhero slot.
- Jackass: Best and Last — the franchise’s billed farewell is over-performing on nostalgia.
- Disclosure Day — Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller rounds out the leaders with the chart’s most adult skew.
Why does this matter for moviegoers?
A crowded chart means more genuinely good options in theaters at once. Where a typical week might offer one must-see, the current lineup spans animation, comedy, spectacle, and prestige sci-fi — and several of them clear our “recommended” threshold rather than coasting on opening-weekend hype.
