'The Oogieloves' Has Worst Opening Weekend in Box Office History | EW

popculturebrain:

Well it happened folks. 

According to studio estimates, the colorful toddler-targeting entry, which is being distributed by Kenn Viselman Presents (Viselman formerly found massive success as producer of The Teletubbies) earned a truly awful $448,131 from 2,160 theaters in its three-day debut frame. That gross yielded a per theater average of $207.

$207 per theater equals an average of 30 people at each theater over the course of the entire weekend.

According to EW the movie cost $20 million to produce and another $40 million to market, which needless to say makes this a beyond huge bomb. The record was previously held by 2008’s animated fiasco ‘Delgo’ which only made $511,920 in its opening weekend in - wait for it - also 2,160 theaters
