Domestic run trajectory — solid is earned to date, dashed is the projected remainder (standard decay curve).
Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~42/58, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (28% of the domestic run, typical for Family) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
