The animated horror-spoof Igor, which tells the story of a lab-assistant who dreams of becoming a mad scientist, opens in about 2,300 theaters today. The film is not faring overly well with critics, only earning 31% so far on Rotten Tomatoes. Sean Axmaker of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer calls the movie “… a haphazard collection of spare movie parts cobbled together in a pale imitation of better-animated comedies.” There are a few positive reviews, however, with Nell Minow describing Igor as “cheerily macabre”. Box office predictions are also coming in, with Box Office Guru guessing an $8 million opening for the film.
