Fueled by families hungry for kid-friendly fare, Sony's Hotel Transylvania 2 bit off the top September opening of all time with a North American debut of $47.5 million.
Transylvania 2, playing in 3,754 locations, opened higher than Hotel Transylvania (2012), the previous record-holder for top September opening with $42.5 million. "We had a great date, and this is a big win for Sony Pictures Animation," said Sony president of marketing Josh Greenstein. "And the movie is exploding international."
The $80 million sequel, with a voice cast led by Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James and Keegan-Michael Key, earned a promising A- CinemaScore and, in another record, is the best start for a Sony animation title.
And first it was projected to do 30-35M.
Congrats to the cast, creators & Sony!!!

The market was starved for a kids movie since Minions was eons ago. No one should be surprised. Mess @ Little Monsters claiming Gaga had something to do with this.
