Despicable Me 3

(Illumination Entertainment | Universal Pictures) Directors: Pierre Coffin, Kyle Balda Release Date: June 30, 2017 Rotten Tomatoes Score: 61% Synopsis: After being fired from a crime-fighting organization, reformed baddie Gru and his wife Lucy set out to thwart a nefarious diamond thief, along with Gru’s previously unknown (and still evil) twin brother Dru, and, of course, the Minions. Box Office to Date: $1.02 billion worldwide The Word: “It’s a pale shadow of the original featuring some endearing and humorous moments, but lacking the depth and creativity the series once employed. Despicable Me 3 is an entertaining slip of a film, but it’s not a movie that commands respect or demands for future outings.” – Wesley Lovell, CinemaSight.com Nomination Chances: Despicable Me 2’ s nomination in 2014 might complicate chances for a repeat, but s huge success still makes it a contender.
