Kids who loved Star Wars didn’t know or care about John Ford westerns, Flash Gordon serials or Akira Kurosawa actioners. They wanted to see what happened next to Eleven, Steve, Nancy, Max, Mike, June (Winona Ryder in a shrewd casting) and Hopper. Audiences who watched the fourth season didn’t care as much about the pop culture homages or needle drops. Still, the Duffer brothers.-created 80’s-set supernatural thriller was an original story with new characters who, by the show’s relative quality and appeal to kids entirely unaware of the references, became themselves marquee characters.

Minions grossed $1.1 billion in July 2015, while Despicable Me 3 earned $1 billion in July 2017. Despicable Me 2 earned $368 million domestic in July 2013 from a $143 million holiday debut and $975 million global on a $76 million budget, more than any prior animated release ever at the time. Despicable Me 2 was not the result of franchise plans or cinematic universe aspirations but because moviegoers saw and liked the first film. It was also a leggy and crowd-pleasing performer in theaters and at home. Despicable Me grossed $251 million domestic from a $56 million debut and $543 million worldwide on a $69 million budget.
