This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.

  • After the title card, the “fake credits” appear with James getting credit as writer and director, and Henry and Ed as the producers. The cast is then listed, naming every single Minion that appeared in the movie. Then comes the first scene where Kevin, Stuart, and Bob find the book of magic spells. They look over and see young Gru and his (normal) dog Kyle standing by a fire hydrant. Stuart invokes a spell and the normal dog turns into the ugly and vicious Kyle that we’ve seen in the other Despicable Me movies. Kyle starts chasing Gru and the Minions.
  • Kevin, Stuart, and Bob standing by an open doorway. Stuart invokes another spell and a portal opens in the floor outside the doorway. Dr. Nefario walks through the doorway and falls into the portal and disappears. Kevin yells at Stuart to do something so he invokes another spell. A second portal opens in the ceiling above the first portal and we see Dr. Nefario continuously falling from the ceiling portal to the floor portal. Stuart says something that contracts the portal opening and Dr. Nefario gets stuck with his legs dancing from the ceiling while his upper body is stuck in the floor. Kevin picks up a broom and starts poking at Dr. Nefario’s butt and the Minions have a good laugh.
  • Kevin, Stuart, and Bob stand together and invoke another spell together. Larry appears, and the three appear a bit confused. Kevin says the correct spell and Larry changes into Lorinda, a Minion with long blond hair and a red dress.
  • Bob and Agnes use the spell book and invoke the large, angry pink bunny monster. It roars, but Bob and Agnes think it’s cute, hug it, and run away. The bunny laughs and chases the two offscreen.
  • Bob and Stuart use the spell book to conjure up a cat with Gru’s face. After hearing it meow, they produce a sheep with Gru’s face. Then they make him into a penguin, and while they laugh the real adult Gru walks up behind them. Bob and Stuart then produce a pig version of Gru, and the real Gru finally coughs and makes his presence known. Stuart nervously looks through the book and invokes another spell which makes the adult Gru naked. Gru screams and runs offscreen while Stuart and Bob laugh.
  • As the credits end, the woman singing holds a high note for an extremely long time and struggles to continue holding it, wavering and gasping at the end.

Title: The Girl on the Train
Rating: R

Based on the novel by: Paula Hawkins

Reeling from a recent divorce and searching to preoccupy her days, Rachel Watson (Blunt) spends her weekday commute to and from Manhattan quietly gazing out the train windows. Every morning and evening, she relives memories from just outside the home she once shared with her now ex-husband Tom (JUSTIN THEROUX of The Leftovers, The Ten), who now lives there with his new wife, Anna (REBECCA FERGUSON of Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation, upcoming The Snowman), and their baby.

To distract herself from a life that’s grown so aimless, Rachel develops an obsession with the occupants of another house on the route, 15 Beckett Road—a few doors down from where she used to reside. There, blissfully unaware that a stranger is longingly watching, the seemingly perfect couple Megan (HALEY BENNETT of The Equalizer, The Magnificent Seven) and Scott (LUKE EVANS of Dracula Untold, upcoming Beauty and the Beast) go about the business of suburban life.

For months, in between furtive sips of the liquor that’s become a constant companion, Rachel has stolen glimpses of the stunning Megan and handsome Scott as they drink morning coffee by their windows or laugh on their porch at nighttime—and imagined how idyllic their world must be. The seemingly carefree young woman is the portrait of everything that Rachel tried to be during her years with Tom, in a marriage from which she refuses to let go.

One day, on her way into the city, Rachel witnesses something so shocking in Megan and Scott’s backyard that it rocks her to the core. Soon after, when Megan goes missing and is feared dead, Rachel tells the police what she believes she has seen. But can Rachel trust what she thinks she witnessed, or is she entangled in the crime itself? When one voyeur crosses the dangerous line between concerned and obsessed, she will either find the real killer…or discover that there is innocent blood on her own hands.
