Minions’ Best Movie Officially Finds a Perfect Halloween Streaming Home
A Hollywood monster mishap
James and Henry decide to produce a monster movie of their own. They use a former master’s spellbook to summon creatures, but the project turns into a rescue mission when the monsters get loose. The silent-film setting gives the Minions’ slapstick a different backdrop from Gru’s adventures.
Streaming for Halloween weekend
The PG-rated animated comedy is available exclusively on Peacock in the United States. It debuted on the service October 28, ahead of Halloween on Saturday, and runs about 90 minutes.
The film opened in U.S. theaters July 1. Its Peacock arrival gives subscribers a chance to watch the latest Minions installment at home during Halloween weekend.
