‘Playmobil: The Movie’ Continues On Path To Becoming Legendary Box Office Disaster

The film plummeted 74% in its second weekend, playing to mostly empty theaters.

The film opens this weekend in 2,300 North American theaters.

In a year of U.S. animation box office disappointments, STX Entertainment hopes to avoid that fate with its upcoming “Playmobil: The Movie.”

“Uglydolls” is the fourth animated film to crash and burn at the box office in 2019, and we’re only in May.

The first feature from STX Entertainment isn’t getting much love from the critics, but will it do better with audiences?

“I like taking on something that’s not going to be that easy,” says “Uglydolls” director Kelly Asbury.

STX, which is also releasing “Uglydolls,” will now release a second animated feature in the U.S. this year.

STX aims for a slice of the animation box office piece with their first feature, “Uglydolls.”

Adam Sandler is expanding his animation empire with a new feature.
