‘Minions and Monsters’ Comes to Digital But When Will the New ‘Minions’ Movie Be Streaming?

By Anna Menta Published Aug. 10, 2026, 10:30 a.m. ET Hopefully your Minionese is passable, because the new Minion movie, Minions & Monsters, is coming to digital platforms to buy and rent starting tomorrow. Directed by Pierre Coffin—who also co-directed and the first four Despicable Me films, and has been the primary voice of the Minions in the films—with a screenplay written by Coffin and Brian Lynch, Minions & Monsters is the third film in the Minions prequel series, and the seventh movie in the overall Despicable Me franchise. Minions & Monsters is a period piece, taking place in 1920, nearly 50 years prior to the events of the 2015 film Minions. Apparently, there were Minions around for the golden era of Old Hollywood, and they were determined to make their very own monster movie. Luck
