Abominable Becomes Third Original Film of 2019 to Debut at Number One

Abominable, from DreamWorks Animation and China’s Pearl Studio, scaled to the top of box office mountain this weekend with an estimated $20.85 million domestically and $29.7 million overseas.

The PG-rated family film, about a teen girl (voiced by Agent of SHIELD’s Chloe Bennet) and a Yeti embarking on an epic quest, had the best opening of the year so far for an original animated film. It’s also only the third original film overall — the other two being Good Boys and Us — to debut at number one this year.

With a $75 million dollar price tag though, the film will most likely have to rely on China’s box office numbers to push it up over the top. The film will release there on Tuesday.

Netflix’s Daybreak is an Apocalyptic Ferris Bueller, But Even Weirder

This September, IGN is highlighting the best TV airing in the 2019-2020 season. Today, we’re featuring Netflix’s apocalyptic comedy Daybreak, starring Colin Ford, Sophie Simnett, Austin Crute, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Cody Kearsley, Matthew Broderick, and Krysta Rodriguez. Here’s how the streamer describes the show: “High school isn’t the end of the world… until it is. In this post-apocalyptic, genre-bending series, the city of Glendale, California is populated by marauding gangs of jocks, gamers, the 4-H Club, and other fearsome tribes who are kicking ass as they fight to survive in the wake of a nuclear blast.
