Lionsgate snagged the Chinese-produced animated comedy Rock Dog for reasons that I can only presume are about building its library for the long haul. As noted yesterday, the $60 million production (!) The film, based on a graphic novel by Zheng Jun, opened with $3.7 million this weekend. Lionsgate and Summit obviously aren't too concerned about this one, what with La La Land making all the money and presumably winning most of the Oscars tomorrow. One of a number of films acquired from the ashes of Relativity, the Open Road pick up opened with around $1.556 million this weekend.
