This sounds like a misadventure, and just another film from Illumination that I will likely skip out on. I actually liked it more than most critics and people here. There's some really fun animation, and Cumberbatch is clearly having a great time voicing the character. It also has a really nice heart that gives the movie a cozy feeling. Also Pharell needs to do more narrating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The Grinch opened within 5 million from Despicable Me 3, and it could finish close to the 260 million from The Grinch (2000). The Fantastic Beasts is unlikely to impact The Grinch at least a month out from now, and Fantastic Beasts, The Grinch, and Ralph Breaks the Internet are all going to compete with Mary Poppins on 12/19/18.

MinaTakla Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Great record! Grinch is now the highest-grossing Christmas-themed pic of all time and the top Seuss adaptation. Worldwide, “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch” was the highest-grossing opening for a Christmas-themed movie and has since become the highest-grossing Christmas-themed movie ever — as well as the biggest Dr. Seuss film ever. https://www.thewrap.com/dr-seuss-the-grinch-surpasses-500-million-at-worldwide-box-office/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forbes said Illumination's Grinch is the highest Christmas themed movie of all time. Variety, Deadline etc all reporting the same. Second is Home Alone with 476m. I think their criteria is that the film is outwardly Christmas related (ie in the promotion, trailer, posters and story) Edited January 10, 2019 by MinaTakla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warner Animation Group is doing a Cat in the Hat film next and possibly additional Seuss films in the future. Quote The animation division of Warner Bros. Pictures has struck a deal with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to produce a series of films based on the characters and stories created by childhood mainstay Dr. Seuss, the companies jointly announced Wednesday. The first project out of the gate will be a fully animated version of Seuss’ classic The Cat in the Hat. The project is in the development stage and a search for a writer will begin shortly. “Our Pictures Group is home to some of the world’s most popular film franchises, and we’re honored to add Dr. Seuss titles to that roster,” Warners chairman Toby Emmerich said in a statement. “With Warner Animation Group, we’ve really revitalized our feature animation activities, and this partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises will continue our move into world-class, wide-appeal animated fare.” Not sure if this means Illumination will be unable to make additional Seuss films in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Atreides Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 https://deadline.com/2019/03/the-grinch-box-office-profit-2018-1202582389/ Quote The Grinch‘s black ink at $184.6M turned in lower profit numbers than other Illumination hits such as Sing ($194.2M), Despicable Me 3 ($366.2M), The Secret Life of Pets ($374.6M) and even the Despicable Me spinoff Minions ($502.3M). The profits listed here do not include merchandising revenues. The lower profits on The Grinch were largely having to do with the fact that Dr. Seuss is not well-known outside the English-speaking foreign markets and Germany, hence the film’s overseas B.O. ($240.6M) trails that of other Illumination hits Minions ($823.3M), DM3 ($770M), Secret Life of Pets ($507M) and Sing ($363.7M). That said, Illumination built, and Uni sold, Grinch for a combined production and P&A cost of $196M, which is 12% less than the combined average production and global P&A costs of those four Illumination films. While the studio spent $121M worldwide in P&A on Grinch, it also received an additional $80M from 60 worldwide promotional partners. Marketing partners on the 2000 Grinch movie contributed $50M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
