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.
Four out of the top ten films at the U.S. weekend box office were animated.
A diverse group of animated films are in the top 10 this weekend, including a hand-drawn import, a documentary, a stop-motion classic, and multiple cg blockbusters.
The general critical consensus is that the film, while conceptually original and fun, is a shallow hagiography and struggles to tell the story with Lego bricks.
It’s impossible to ignore how animation is saving Hollywood in 2024.
Focus Features has released the first trailer for the film, which is due out October 11.
‘Piece by Piece’ is produced by Focus Features and will hit U.S. theaters on October 11.
