'PAW Patrol' shows bark at box office while 'The Creator' and 'Dumb Money' disappoint

After several quiet weeks in movie theaters, four films entered wide release over the weekend. "PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie" came out the top dog, with US$23 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.The performances of all four films -- "PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie," "Saw X," "The Creator" and "Dumb Money" -- told a familiar story at the box office. What worked? Horror and animated franchises.

"Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie," which cost US$30 million to make, added US$23.1 million in overseas sales. The US$13-million production was also the widest "Saw" release yet, playing in 3,262 theaters. Since James Wan's 2004 original, the "Saw" franchise -- the flagship series of so-called torture porn -- has made more than US$1 billion worldwide.

Sony Pictures' "Dumb Money," expanded nationwide after two weeks of limited release but failed to ignite the kind of populist movement it irreverently dramatizes. The film, directed by Craig Gillespie, came away with a disappointing US$3.5 million in 2,837 locations.
