How does a movie for preteens take top spot of three openings? Looks like doggy doo.

Paramount and Spin Master’s $30M budgeted sequel, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, is the top dog with a $22.5M opening and an “A” CinemaScore, which is better than the first pic’s A-.

On the downside, four wide major studio entries aren’t enough to push the domestic marketplace past $100M, with all pics totaling $86M. Saw X $19m.

The movies are just an ad for a billion dollar toy industry!

SUNDAY AM: Refresh for chart and more analysis Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie is lapping up $23M, a big win for Paramount and Spin Master as the picture is part of a $14 billion global retail franchise which both companies get a nice cut of. And successful movies drive toy sales. It was part of Brian Robbins’ plan when he took over Paramount Pictures Studios to have family brands work at the box office, which also have a rainfall of cash in merchandise, particularly in an entertainment conglomerate that counts the powerful, and evergreen Nickelodeon brand. EntTelligence says Paw Patrol 2 drew 2.3M admissions, with close to half of the pic’s tickets being sold at child pricing.
