Looks like Migration will bomb in Japan with less than $5 million final total. I was honestly expecting the Illumination name to propel it to at least $20 million.
On paper, this should have had no issue crossing $100 million DOM. I guess Disney+ has really incentivized families to just wait for streaming if the product isn't appealing enough.
Speaking of Awkwafina, this is the 7th time she's voiced a talking animal in a film and 3rd year in a row doing it for Universal. She has one more animal voice role this year as Octocat in IF.
That's an even higher Latino share than Mario, which was already very high to begin with for an animated film. Mario ended up being the highest-grossing film of all time in Mexico, so maybe KFP4 can deliver big numbers there too.
Jurassic World is my favorite JP film after the original. Dominion is by far my least favorite. Just an awful script all around and a waste of the legacy characters. It's the only JP film I cannot rewatch aside from the brilliant Therizinosaurus scene (the one scene that comes even close to capturing the suspense and horror of the original).
Pretty amazing for KFP4 given the way presales were going for a while there. I admit I did not see this outgrossing Puss in Boots: The Last Wish considering the trailer looked quite mediocre with no real hook. Critical and audience reception was also nowhere near as glowing as The Last Wish.
