He and his partner / wife Lucy are sent to foil the plans of Balthazar Bratt , a 1980s child star turned evil . Gru manages to stop Bratt from stealing the world 's largest diamond , but is unable to capture him . As a result of failing to capture Bratt , Gru and Lucy are fired from the AVL by its unreasonable new director Valerie Da Vinci , following the retirement of Silas Ramsbottom . Gru and Lucy reluctantly tell their children , Margo , Edith , and Agnes , of their termination , but assure them they will find new jobs . Most of Gru 's Minions leave Gru when he refuses to return to villainy despite losing his job . Meanwhile , Lucy struggles to adapt to her new role as the children 's new mom . The next morning , the family is approached by Fritz , the butler of Gru 's cheerful twin brother Dru , who lives in a distant country named Freedonia and longs to meet him . Shocked to learn he has a twin , Gru confronts his mother , who reveals that when she and her husband divorced , they agreed to keep one child each . The family decides to travel to meet Dru , and they are surprised at his immense wealth , which Fritz attributes to their pig farm business . Meanwhile , the Minions are arrested for trespassing at a talent show set . Bratt manages to steal the diamond again , intending to use it to power a giant robot and destroy Hollywood as revenge for the cancellation of his show . Dru reveals to Gru that their recently deceased father was a legendary supervillain , whose villainous activities are the real source of the family 's wealth . As Dru was dismissed by their father as a disgrace , he asks his brother to teach him how to be a villain . When Gru refuses to revert to his old ways , Dru takes him on a joyride around Freedonia in their father 's technologically advanced car and the siblings bond . Meanwhile , Lucy tries to balance her tasks as a mom , which she exhibits after turning away a young boy named Niko who had fallen for Margo in the midst of a traditional cheese festival , while Edith and Agnes stumble into a local tavern and learn from the bartender about a mythical unicorn which lurks in a nearby forest . Gru tries to convince Agnes that unicorns are imaginary , but decides against it to avoid hurting her feelings . The next day , Agnes and Edith set out into the woods to track the mythical unicorn , only to find a one - horned goat whom Agnes adopts and dubs `` Lucky '' . Meanwhile , the Minions ' longing for Gru motivates them to escape from prison and return to their former master . Dru convinces Gru to steal the diamond , with Gru secretly intending to bring it to the AVL , which he hopes will convince Da Vinci to rehire him and Lucy . Despite several setbacks , they manage to retrieve the diamond and are rescued by Lucy after narrowly escaping . After finding out Gru 's true motives , Dru confronts his brother about his lie . In return , Gru insults him and decides to leave Freedonia , ending their relationship . Bratt , disguised as Lucy , kidnaps the children , and once again acquires the diamond . Gru and Dru resolve their differences and pursue him after finding the real Lucy . With his robot powered by the diamond , Bratt terrorizes Hollywood , intending to send it into space with the use of superpowered gum . Lucy saves the children while Gru and Dru weaken Bratt 's robot with the weapons of their father 's car . Gru is knocked unconscious when the car is destroyed , and Dru manages to destroy the robot 's core from the inside when Bratt threatens to kill Gru . When Gru recovers , he battles Bratt in a dance fight , using it as a distraction to grab his weaponized keytar , and defeats him . Having rendezvoused with Gru , the Minions manage to destroy the gum already covering the city , and Gru and Dru reunite . Soon afterward , Gru and Lucy are reinstated in the AVL and the newly united family celebrate in Gru 's home . Lucy is acknowledged by the children as their mother . Lured back to villainy , Dru and most of the minions steals Gru 's ship , with Gru 's emblem replaced with a `` D '' graffiti . Gru and Lucy decide to give them a five - minute head - start before engaging pursuit .

Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 60 % based on 172 reviews , and an average rating of 5.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Despicable Me 3 should keep fans of the franchise consistently entertained with another round of colorful animation and zany -- albeit somewhat scattershot -- humor . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating , the film has a score of 49 out of 100 based on 37 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A − '' on an A+ to F scale . IGN gave the film a score of 6 / 10 , saying , `` It 's not much , but Despicable Me 3 is at least enough for the younger fans of the franchise . '' Peter Debruge of Variety wrote , `` Despicable Me 3 is unwieldy , but it mostly works , as co-directors Pierre Coffin ( who also voices the Minions ) and Kyle Balda never lose sight of the film 's emotional center , packing the rest with as much humor as they can manage . The jokes come so fast and furious , the movie can hardly find room for Heitor Pereira 's funky score , and though Pharrell Williams has contributed five new songs to sell soundtracks ( including the sweet There 's Something Special ) , the movie hardly needs them . '' Alonso Duralde of TheWrap gave the film a mixed review , saying : `` Ultimately , none of these flaws will matter to the throngs of little kids who have made the previous Despicable Me movies ( and the superior Minions spin - off ) into giant global hits . '' Sandy Schaefer for Screen Rant gives the film a 3 out of 5 stars saying `` Despicable Me 3 offers enough in the way of zany , irreverent entertainment ( with a dose of heart ) to please steadfast fans of the franchise . '' Jordan Mintzer for The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review saying `` This rather clever , breakneck - paced cartoon gives fans exactly what they want : Like the new nemesis voiced by Trey Parker , it shoots multiple machine - gun bursts of bubblegum at the audience , asking them to chew and enjoy '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three out of four stars , saying `` Pierre Coffin ( who voices the Minions ) and co-director Kyle Balda keep the plot spinning merrily . Pharrell Williams contributes five new songs to the mix , including the hummable `` There 's Something Special . '' It 's no mystery why Illumination 's franchise is still something special after three go - rounds -- the box - office gross is a whopping $1.5 billion and counting . '' Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a ' B ' grade , saying `` What shines through is the visual wit and innate sweetness of the storytelling , and Carell 's cackling , cueball - skulled misanthrope -- a ( mostly ) reformed scoundrel who can still have his cake , and arsenic too . '' Stephen Whitty of the New York Daily News gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars , saying `` The film has to rush at the end , to wrap up all these different stories , and it still leaves one of them open - ended . '' Box Office ( edit ) Despicable Me 3 grossed $264.6 million in the United States and Canada and $770.2 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $1.035 billion , against a production budget of $80 million . On September 8 , it passed the $1 billion threshold , becoming the second Despicable Me film ( after Minions ) , second non-Disney - animated film ( after Minions ) , third film of 2017 ( after Beauty and the Beast and The Fate of the Furious ) , and the sixth animated film ( after Toy Story 3 , Frozen , Minions , Zootopia , and Finding Dory ) to pass the mark . It became the first film since The Fate of the Furious ( also a Universal property ) in April 2017 to make over a billion dollars . In North America , the film opened alongside The House and Baby Driver , as well as the wide expansion of The Beguiled , and was projected to gross $85 -- 95 million in its opening weekend . It played in 4,529 theaters , setting the record for widest release of all time , beating the amount set by The Twilight Saga : Eclipse in 2010 . It made $4.1 million from Thursday night previews , down slightly from the $4.7 million of the second film and $6.2 million made by Minions , and $29.2 million on its first day . It went on to debut to $72.4 million , slightly below expectations and the lowest of the series since the first film , but still topped the box office and was the 4th - best opening for Illumination . It also opened to more than the next five films did combined ( Baby Driver 's $20.6 million , Transformers : The Last Knight 's $16.9 million , Wonder Woman 's $15.7 million , Cars 3 's $9.7 million and The House 's $8.7 million ) . In its second weekend the film grossed $33.6 million ( a drop of 53.6 % , more than the previous Despicable Me films but similar to Minions ) , finishing second at the box office ( with a fresh record of 4,536 theaters showing the movie ) behind newcomer Spider - Man : Homecoming ( $117 million ) . Internationally the film was released in five markets on June 16 , 2017 , and grossed $9.9 million in its opening weekend . In its third week of release the film opened in 46 more markets , grossing $95.6 million .
