The spiritual sequel to Norm of the North we didn't know we needed. Too bad Rob Schneider's schedule is jam-packed, would have loved a cameo to please the fans. 

[JB33]

I searched but didn't find a thread for this, so here it is.

 

Coming out on the 1st and not a peep (unsurprisingly), yet is releasing in an astounding 3,600+ theatres (surprisingly!) per BOM! So the question is.....what's going to bomb harder, this or PLAYMOBIL: The Movie??

Exactemundo! That's exactly what this feels like.

Thanks! I figured that original 3,600+ figure on BOM was bogus.

 

That said, 3,000+ is still tons for this movie! The PTA should be amazing to behold.

Waaaay less than the 3,600+ this was originally slated to open it. Yeesh. Now this is about right.

This will finish under $20M total DOM...it's not going anywhere...

 

This isn't based on quality (I have no idea if it's good or bad...although I'd say, not knowing anything but the trailers, that it's leaning closer to the bad:)...this is based on theater sets, screens, and the overall market:)...

Agreed. Pretty much nobody knows this movie exists. Animated films seem to always be in the public consciousness, even if they're not from Disney. This? This is being dumped randomly with zero fanfare or studio support. Random really is the word I'd use to describe this movie. Like, what is it and where did it come from? Lol.

That being said, I take it this one's a no go for you and the family, eh @TwoMisfits?

Well, I never say no to free tickets...but it would probably take free tickets:)...Maybe I'd toss $1/kid, just b/c they like the movie theater experience:)...

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

I didn't even know what this was...cheap kids animation with Jeremy Renner and James Franco in the voice cast? LMAO, god bless, no wonder this is getting dumped!

[TalismanRing]

Yikes.

 

Arctic Dogs wishes it was Norm of The North

Reminder that Jeremy Renner was actually paid money to say "Ewwww, the planet made a poopie!"

[JB33]

Oof. DOA was an understatement for this random animation. It was last out of the 4 openers this weekend, bringing in $2.9M for a $1,020 PTA. 

 

A close-ish comparable is Ratchet & Clank, which released April 29, 2016 to $4.9M in 2,891 theatres for a $1,684 PTA.

 

It's a tough, tough market for any animation studio that isn't one of the big guns.
