“PAW Patrol,” centering on a young boy named Ryder and a heroic group of pups who save Adventure City from the evil Mayor Humdinger, was surprisingly well received by youngsters, parents and, yes, even critics. Variety’s Courtney Howard called the film a “gripping, inspiring animated thriller.” “This is a good opening for a TV-based family animation release,” says David A. Gross, who runs consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “These movies are not in the league with the Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination juggernauts, but they cost less, make money and occasionally break out ? la ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks,’ ‘Mr. Peabody & Sherman,’ and ‘Scooby-Doo.'” Meanwhile, the Jackman-led “Reminiscence” was barely able to crack the top 10 in its opening weekend. The film, playing in 3,265 North American locations, managed to scrape together $2 million, which is a terrible result given its $68 million production budget. However, the movie’s underperformance isn’t exactly surprising. “Reminiscence,” which garnered mixed reviews, targets older audiences, a demographic that’s been more reluctant to return to movie theaters.
