It shot out of the gate (as many early enthusiastic reviewers gush after early access) in the mid-80s but has since settled back to a fine if middling 69%. Unfortunately those cheers did not translate into tickets for Gareth Edwards’ The Creator, which saw its early tracking numbers for the mid-20s and its score with critics on the Tomatometer fade into reality. Rotten Returns: The Creator Stumbles in Its DebutĪfter the summer of Barbie and Oppenheimer everyone is back to rooting for original films of any kind. Paramount should be very happy with these numbers, and they clearly saw the writing on the wall, because they have already greenlit the third movie. The Paw Patrol sequel also has another six weeks of non-animated family content to take away its audience until the new Trolls movie opens up a week before Thanksgiving. The Mighty Movie, which made $24.4 million internationally this weekend, could approach similar numbers, given the first film made an additional $100 million outside of North America. Smallfoot in 2018 opened to $23 million, finished with over $83 million and $214 million globally. That will go a long way to making this one a success, since none of those films made less than $50 million domestic or $100 million worldwide. That may not be Hotel Transylvania or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs money, but it’s better than Storks, Abominable, The Lego Ninjago Movie, and The Boxtrolls, all of which opened on the final weekend of September.Īnother notch in Paw Patrol’s collar is that all of those films cost anywhere from $50-85 million, while its own production cost is reported at a mere $30 million. The Mighty Movie had no such obstacles and went on to make $23 million this weekend. It went on to gross $40.1 million despite also being available for streaming at home. The first film had a $10.2 million start at the tail-end of August back in 2021, the first summer return for theaters since COVID began. The animated doggies won the weekend! As suggested in last week’s preview, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie indeed took the crown from its two challengers.
