Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The 2009 animated film Coraline recently outpaced several major cinematic releases at the box office, underscoring a fact that studios have been ignoring for years. Coraline is a stop-motion animated film from Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick, adapted from Neil Gaiman’s novella of the same name.
The Success Of Coraline's 2023 Re-Release Proves That Hollywood Has A Quality Issue While family-friendly films attached to an established IP, such as The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem have done well at the box office, original projects have failed to impress this year.
Why Coraline Is Doing So Well At The 2023 Box Office Coraline’s box office success can be traced back to a frustrating lack of options for moviegoers, particularly those with young families. In the current, risk-averse cinema landscape, studios favor a release that casts as wide a net as possible. As such, the vast majority of cinematic releases are rated PG-13.
