Deadline states the extremely anticipated animated prequel is barely on monitor for a $26 million weekend. That’s just a bit lower than the $30 million we predicted – which was far more than business projections, which noticed the movie opening with $40 million (wishful considering).

It’s being distributed by the streamer MUBI, who’ve opted to capitalize on the excitement and give it a giant 2000-screen launch, however these numbers are pretty anemic, which is a disgrace because it’s an ideal film.

Meanwhile, Lionsgate continues its seemingly cursed run on the field workplace with Never Let Go, a Halle Berry-led horror flick that can solely open within the $4 million vary. The film additionally earned a poor C+ CinemaScore ranking. Next weekend gained’t be any higher for them, with Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis on monitor for one more disastrous opening.
