The film grossed more last weekend than the previous one, a rarity for any film so deep into its theatrical run, much less a film that is already available to rent or own on digital platforms.
Though there are few comps for R-rated stop-motion films at the box office, ‘Memoir of a Snail’ is off to an excellent start.
‘Memoir of a Snail’ opens today in Los Angeles and New York City, before expanding more widely next month.
Both films have emerged as key Oscar contenders in the animated feature and short categories.
Two other animated films also received special jury mentions at the festival: the feature ‘Olivia & Las Nubes’ and the short ‘Dragfox.’
The festival is set to take place in Los Angeles from October 18-20.
IFC Films will launch the film theatrically in the U.S. on October 25.
It’s impossible to ignore how animation is saving Hollywood in 2024.
Dozens of prizes were handed out tonight at Annecy, the world’s largest animation festival.
The company is involved in new animated features such as Claude Barras’s ‘Savages’ and Adam Elliot’s ‘Memoir of a Snail.’
Elliot’s new feature film will world premiere at Annecy next month.
