# Despicable Me 2 (2013) Original Advance Movie Poster Rolled DS – 27x40 Back 2 Work Minions

### **DESPICABLE ME 2**

**Original U.S. Theatrical Advance Movie Poster – “Back 2 Work” Minions Locker Room Design**

A fun and highly recognizable **original theatrical advertising poster** for Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s 2013 animated comedy _**Despicable Me 2**_, directed by **Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud**.

This advance design features the Minions inside their locker room, with lockers labeled **Kevin, Phil and Dave**. One Minion is shown changing in front of an open locker filled with memorable details including a **banana, Minion goggles, overalls and snapshots**, while another Minion stands nearby.

Across the top is the memorable campaign line:

**“BACK 2 WORK”**

with the number **2** highlighted in orange as a direct visual tie to _**Despicable Me 2**_.

The bottom carries the advance release copy:

**“JULY 3”**

along with **Illumination Entertainment** and **Universal** studio marks.

This is specifically an **advance / teaser campaign design**, rather than the later full-credit theatrical one sheet. Poster-reference archives document this exact “Back 2 Work” artwork as part of the official 2013 _Despicable Me 2_ campaign.

The example shown also retains the pre-release:

**“THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED”**

marking, another characteristic associated with advance theatrical advertising.

A particularly appealing poster for collectors of **Minions, Despicable Me, Illumination Entertainment, Universal Pictures, animation memorabilia and original modern theatrical advertising**.
