Box Office: 'Zootopia' Takes Top Spot With Record Breaking Opening, 'Deadpool' Crosses $300 Million
11 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the R-rated "Deadpool" dominated the box office for the past three weeks, the demographic pendulum swung all the way in other direction as the superhero film was finally knocked out of the top spot. Disney's "Zootopia," which was already doing very strong numbers overseas, opened domestically, and broke Walt Disney Animation Studio's three-day opening record, hauling in $73.7 million. It's the ninth largest animated opening ever, set the record for the biggest animated March opening of all time, and you can chalk it up to a combination of good reviews coupled with being in the right place at the right time. With nothing else out there for families at the multiplex, the audience was clearly ready for something to bring the kids to, and Disney delivered. And the film's solid A-grade Cinemascore likely means some very good legs for this one which has already earned over $230 million in total worldwide. »

Earlier this week, New Line announced that they found a new writer for “Sandman,” the DC/Vertigo comic book from acclaimed fantasy author Neil Gaiman. David Goyer (“Man Of Steel,” “Batman Begins”) wrote the treatment and then a search was held to find a writer who could translate the ambitious property into a would-be trilogy. Eric Heisserer, the screenwriter of “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” “Final Destination 5,” and “The Conjuring 2” won the gig. But apparently the hiring of the writer was the beginning of the end for star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who just dropped out of the project. The actor took to Facebook to announce he was leaving, saying creative differences emerged when New Line, a Warner Bros. subsidiary, took the project over.
