Fun fact: Packer hasn't had an under-$15 million opener since Battle of the Year in 2013. The $20 million film, written and directed by Tina Gordan (Peeples) received mixed-negative reviews (Martin is awesome but the rest of the film is not) but a B+ from Cinemascore (compared to 50% fresh and 4.95/10 on Rotten Tomatoes). Despite a slightly better-than-expected $2.9 million opening day, this one frontloaded to a mere $5.9 million weekend. LaikaMore tragic was Laika’s Missing Link, which earned just $5.7 million in 3,413 theaters. That's a miserable result compared to the $12 million-to-$17 million debuts of the first four Laika flicks.
