You may not realize it, but “Despicable Me” — which includes the two main films, and the spinoff “Minions” — has collected $2.6 billion from the worldwide box office so far. And God only knows how much in added revenue Universal has pocketed from merchandise. It’s a behemoth, and the money faucet will continue to pour next summer with “Despicable Me 3.”

Steve Carell is back to lead as Gru, this time with Trey Parker playing the baddie Balthazar Bratt, a former ’80s child star, who is now obsessed with the role that made him famous. The rest of the voice cast is rounded out by Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, Nev Scharrel, Steve Coogan, Jenny Slate and Julie Andrews, for what is sure to be another big hit (and it seems like this one is going to have quite the soundtrack too).
“Despicable Me 3” opens on June 30, 2017.
