The Lego Movie opens

by James | February 7, 2014 9:24 am

The Lego Movie[1] opens today in 3,775 theatres according to Box Office Mojo[2]. The film is receiving stellar reviews, earning an almost perfect 99% at Rotten Tomatoes[3]. Their consensus: “Boasting beautiful animation, a charming voice cast, laugh-a-minute gags, and a surprisingly thoughtful story, The Lego Movie is colorful fun for all ages”. Fandango[4] reports that the movie is on pace to become their “second biggest advance ticket seller among all animated films, right behind 2010’s Toy Story 3“. That could mean a record haul — BOM[5] projects The Lego Movie will bring in $68 million over the weekend, and could challenge The Simpsons Movie’s record opening for a non-sequel animated movie of $74 million.
