The Minions and their 'big boss' Chris Meledandri keep a blockbuster machine humming

NEW YORK (AP) — At a time of perpetual upheaval in Hollywood, the Paris-based animation studio Illumination has become one of Hollywood’s most consistent blockbuster-making operations. Since 2010’s “Despicable Me,” Illumination has accounted for more than $11 billion in global box office. Its “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” is the sole $1 billion movie of 2026 so far. Illumination’s next release, “Minions & Monsters,” which premieres Sunday at the Annecy Film Festival in France, stands a good chance of equaling it. Opening two weeks after Pixar’s “Toy Story 5,” “Minions & Monsters” will be a new test of just how much of a powerhouse Illumination has become.

Kennedy Center says it isn't required to reschedule shows after judge blocks 2-year closure

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Kennedy Center's management isn't committing to new shows or staff expansion, even as it considers options short of a full two-year closure that a federal judge blocked last month. In a court filing Friday, Kennedy Center lawyers said the venue plans to maintain an operational model after the July 5 date when it was initially scheduled to close. The public spaces will remain accessible, but stages may largely be silent. The venue must reassess its plans after a May ruling from U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper. The judge blocked the closure and ordered President Donald Trump's name removed from the building. A vote on renovation options is expected in mid-July.

Movie Review: In 'Toy Story 5,' it's (digital) apocalypse now for toys

“Toy Story 5” may fall shy of the first three and probably ranks as the fifth best of these movies. But “Toy Story” has a high bar and the quality and thoughtfulness that has long distinguished Pixar is very much present here, writes AP Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. As the movie’s “toys vs. tech” advertising has made abundantly clear, “Toy Story 5” is predicated on an extremely relatable conflict for kids and parents, alike. In it, tablets arrive just as ominously as weapons did in “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Given just how profoundly screens have altered childhood, the paradigm-shift storyline gives “Toy Story 5” something most sequels can’t claim: a reason for being.
