the Fox release found an especially warm welcome at $9.26M on 1,183 screens for the No. 1 slot. The performance makes it the biggest ever DWA opener in the market outside of the Shrek franchise. By way of comparison, it was 113% higher than The Croods and 165% bigger than Despicable Me.
Outside the UK, Home saw No. 1s in Russia ($4.22M from 2,157) and Spain ($2.38M from 573), besting The Croods in the former and Rio and Lego in the latter.
Not really, kids movies always do good, it's not really surprising.
It's funny how after the numbers every hater will be "but this is a DW animation, were you expecting to flop?" while until now everyone was "this is gonna be a huge flop".
