It almost grossed more in ticket sales than the rest of the top 10 movies this weekend combined, but Shrek Forever After still proved to be a disappointment because it didn’t shatter the charts as strongly as many expected.
In the opening weekend, the 4th installment in Dreamworks’ Shrek franchise grossed $71.2 million in ticket sales. That sounds like a really good number, until you dig deeper.
Shrek the Third earned more than $122 million when it premiered 3 years ago.
