And Fantastic Mr. Fox struggled to get above $20 million. Evidently the movie isn't as much of a broad kid appeal pic as the trailer might have led on.

I think Fantastic Mr. Fox just looked flat out unappealing though to kids. Again, kids love dogs, hell they even acknowledge that with a line in the trailer for this.

Speculative spoilers

Kids probably don't like dogs getting mauled or killed, though. I certainly wouldn't put it past Wes to put something like that in.

Stop animation in general has a hard time recently, Kubo and 2 strings / Box troll were clearly for kid and family with a level of acclaim quite high, did not go over 50m, Pirates band of misfits did 31m, Shaun of the Sheep 19m.

 

Hard to imagine a Wes Anderson movie making much more than those.

 

The last success story a large scale for stopped animation, is it Coraline (that made 124.5m WW on is 60m budget) ? That is going close to 10 year's ago. Chicken run was in 2000.

 

It is really hard if you are not pixar/dreamwork looking style animation.

I think this film would've received more than a PG rating (which it'll likely receive since it's been attached to plenty of family films) had it gone down that route.
