The $70 million expectation is great news for Illumination Entertainment, The Secret Life of Pets only cost a reported $75 million to produce, which is on the low side for an animated feature.
However, since Dory put up just over $50 million last weekend, that means that even if The Secret Life of Pets fails to hit the expected number, it’s still likely to take the weekend.
The Secret Life of Pets is tracking toward a massive take.
While $70 million is just about half of what Finding Dory did in its opening weekend, since the latest Pixar film opened, nothing has been able to keep it from winning the box office.
