It really is a shame that it was Dreamworks and not Pixar that ended up making this extended play sequence of a movie — the superior studio’s fabled attention to detail is sorely missed. Image courtesy 20th Century Fox.
8/10 Remember Ghost in the Shell? Just three weeks later, it’s probably slipped everyone’s mind, but it was a pretty big deal to Sony. They were real proud of that movie, and thought it was going to be a bit of a gravy train.
It face-planted over its March 31 debut to the tune of just $18.7 million. The $110 million movie has made just $37.1 million over three weeks, and has already been dropped by more than 1,300 theaters.
But that wasn’t the only shocker of the weekend. Expected to finish behind Beauty and the Beast, the unheralded Boss Baby came out of nowhere to score a $50.2 million opening and retain the no. 1 spot until Fate of the Furious came out. It’s brought in $116.8 million to date.
So, is this surprise heavyweight any good?
