The Boxtrolls are back after a strong premiere weekend, with a tour of Laika Studios with actors Isaac Hempstead-Wright and Elle Fanning (who play Eggs and Winnie Portley-Rind, respectively, in the movie), along with a “Halloween How-To” instructional video:
The Boxtrolls came in third place at the box office in its debut weekend with an estimated $17.28 million in ticket sales, behind the Denzel Washington thriller The Equalizer ($34.14 million) and coming up just short of the young adult adaptation The Maze Runner ($17.44 million). The ticket sales best the opening weekends of Laika’s previous films Coraline ($16.8 million) and ParaNorman ($14.1 million), and are the best opening for a stop-motion animated feature since Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride in 2005 ($19.15 million).
