In the note
Just okay (if that) at about -50%, for a weekend in the high teens. #4 Dora and the Lost City of Gold - Another family skewing film from Walden Media that didn’t really measure up, and I did find the marketing tie in with ICE particularly tone deaf (the copy line was ‘kids go free’). It’s about the same gross as Paramount’s recent family film Wonder Park (which grossed $15 million for the weekend), but that film only had 25% of K-12 out that day and there are 88% of K-12 out today, so this should be waaaay ahead right now if it’s going to end up the same.
