Animation at the Box Office - Feb 14-16

Written by SkulShurtugalTCG :



 

Coming in at #1 for the second weekend in a row, The Lego Movie raked in an impressive $48 million at the domestic box office, ahead of newcomers RoboCop and About Last Night. So far, the animated blockbuster has earned about $130 million domestically and $150 million worldwide; it is on track to pass the $200 million mark by next weekend, and a close at $300 million seems likely.

Million

Frozen (which has a contest ending here soon; stay tuned for that) finally fell out of the Top 5 after 10 weekends there - a record for any animated film. The film earned a respectible $5.8 million from an 8th-place hold (still a great accomplishment, considering it now has severe competition). Frozen has now earned $376 million domestically, and so long as it continues to perform well (and it all but should), it will close its run at over $400 million - traditionally, the mark of a "true" blockbuster. Worldwide, its total is now at $955 million; its performance is above expectations in China, and it has yet to open in Japan, which should also be a major market. Combined with the Academy Awards in two weeks and the publicity it will receive if it wins in its nominated categories, Frozen will ultimately pass $1 billion worldwide within the next month.

Weekend

Finally, The Nut Job dropped down to 15th place and scraped up a meager $1.7 million; that's less than $1000 per theater, which means, on average, each showing had around 10 people show up. (Disappointment much?) This film is on schedule to become one of the worst animation disappointments, and if it finishes at $70 million (against a $150 million budget), even that would be an accomplishment.

"...and if it finishes at $70 million (against a $150 million budget), even that would be an accomplishment."

Um, first off, The Nut Job did NOT have a $150 million budget. It was around $42 - $45 million. Second, it's grossed over $60 million so far, so the $70 million mark doesn't seem out of the realm. Even as of now, it's not exactly a financial flop.
