LOS ANGELES—Hollywood looked to “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” to help it recover from a dismal January at the box office, but the Warner Bros. franchise failed to deliver. The movie, a subversive take on the building-block toys, collected a disappointing $35 million in the U.S. and Canada, according to preliminary box-office estimates. It is an opening that could signal that the “Lego Movie” franchise—once considered a prime asset for the AT&T Inc. studio—has lost its luster.
