It’s no surprise then that the latest retelling of the story, this month’s The Grinch from animation powerhouse Illumination, is already a hit at the box office.
The animated movie is projected to bring in $66.2 million this weekend, which is an improvement over the last theatrical release of the classic tale.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is as beloved as it comes, whether it’s the children’s book, the animated TV special, or (for some generations) the 2000’s live-action movie.
