The Boxtrolls opens today in 3,464 theatres according to Box Office Mojo. The film is doing well with the critics, earning a 71% freshness rating from Rotten Tomatoes, whose critical consensus is: “While it’s far from Laika’s best offering, The Boxtrolls is still packed with enough offbeat wit and visual splendor to offer a healthy dose of all-ages entertainment”. BOM projects a modest third place opening weekend with $14 million, while Box Office Prophets is slightly more optimistic predicting $15.1 million for a second place weekend.
