The Muppets returned to the big screen for the first time since 2011’s The Muppets this weekend, but in terms of money, things weren’t quite as good for them this time around. Box Office Mojo is reporting that Muppets Most Wanted made a less-than-expected $17 million, which was still good for second place. Part of the reason for this was possibly due to Mr. Peabody & Sherman, which continued to show decent legs with a take of $11 million for a total gross of $81 million. Muppets Most Wanted got decent to great reviews, with a “freshness” rating of 77% over at Rotten Tomatoes.
