Trivia & production notes

- Sandra Bullock was paid $10 million to voice Scarlet Overkill.
- Pierre Coffin, the film's director, also voiced the Minions himself, making this one of the franchise films where he served as the lead actor.
- The film was originally scheduled to release on December 19, 2014, but was pushed back to July 10, 2015 so Universal could maximize the merchandising potential following the success of Despicable Me 2.
- Minions became the third animated film ever to cross $1 billion at the worldwide box office, after Toy Story 3 and Frozen.
