Minions Paradise hasn't been released in China yet, so we're use Taiwan and Hong Kong to provide some idea of how the game is performing in that market. In Europe - UK, France and Germany - the game sits in the top 100, but is starting to decline.Īs for the US, Canada and Australia, the game hasn't made much progress into the top 200 and now is also starting to slip. We can see this performance more clearly on the Google Play Store top grossing chart, which because of the way Google generates its charts shows a less volatile positions. More recently, though, the game has nose-dived into the top 200. Here it entered the top 100 and remained there, at least for a week or so. The situation is better for EA when we consider key European countries France and Germany.
In the US, Canada and Australia, however, the game has bounced around, generally around the top 300 position not the place you'd expect to see it. Only in the UK did it enter the top 100 a position it's since kept, demonstrating the strength of the brand in the UK. EA has announced it generated almost 17 million downloads in its first two weeks.īut how has it done on the world's top grossing charts? Our Charticle will tell all.Ĭonsidering its performance on iPhone in the key English-speaking territories, Minons Paradise has struggled to find a regular paying audience in multiple countries. Of course, that's not to say the game couldn't be a success. Indeed, it only crept out on app stores in mid-October, three months later. Not only was it in soft launch for six months, the game - a resource management title in which you build a paradise island for the Minions - wasn't released in July alongside the film. With the precedent of its +$100 million The Simpsons: Tapped Out franchise, and a massive brand reach of the Minions IP, we expected Minions Paradise to be one of 2015's key branded games. Given the success Gameloft generated with its endless runner Minions Rush, there was plenty of anticipation when it was announced that EA had gained the licence for the Minions animated film.
