It's the headline Disney wanted to see with LIGHTYEAR, but didn't. Over the weekend, the new movie starring the animated Twinkies -- er, Minions -- broke box office records and proved that families are ready to get back into theaters to watch movies.

So why did MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU beat LIGHTYEAR so handily? Probably for the same reason TOP GUN: MAVERICK continues to score.
