There has been no official information on the part of Netflix or Illumination movies regarding the Netflix release date of other nations. The Secret Life of Pets 2 was released on Netflix in the UK for six months; but the point is, that it arrived two years after its theatrical release. If we follow the schedule, this means that Minions: Rise of Gru will also hit Netflix globally in 2024. The same pattern can also be applied to Netflix Canada wherein they get Illumination movies for a year. As far as Latin American Netflix regions are concerned, they receive a new Illumination movie roughly three years after their theatrical debut.

Here’s the official synopsis of Minions: Rise of Gru (courtesy of IMDb):

“In the heart of the 1970s, amidst a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans, Gru (Steve Carell) is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them.”
