"Minions & Monsters" has topped the July Fourth weekend box office, narrowly beating "Toy Story 5." The latest film in the "Despicable Me" franchise earned $36.4 million, according to studio estimates.

It's not 'Spider-Man' or 'Jurassic' or the Minions that holds the record for single-day box office grosses on the actual day.

The previous outing in the franchise, 'Despicable Me 4,' opened to $122 million two years go.
