Zathura: A Space Adventure
“Adventure is waiting.”
After their father is called into work, two young boys, Walter and Danny, are left in the care of their teenage sister, Lisa, and told they must stay inside. Walter and Danny, who anticipate a boring day, are shocked when they begin playing Zathura, a space-themed board game, which they realize has mystical powers when their house is shot into space. With the help of an astronaut, the boys attempt to return home.

Source: TMDB. Domestic/international split (~34/66, genre-typical) and the opening-weekend figure (37% of the domestic run, typical for Science Fiction) are MoviesRankd estimates. Profit is gross revenue minus production budget and excludes marketing — studios typically need ~2–2.5× budget to break even.
