Astro Boy Slips Further in Fourth Weekend

Joseph Luster November 15, 2009

Things haven’t been too hot for Tetsuwan Atom and his Imagi Studios theatrical effort, Astro Boy. David Bowers’ film, which was produced with a budget of $65 million, pulled in $1.7 million during its fourth weekend, bringing it down to #13 on the box office charts according to Box Office Mojo.

This additional income, spread across 1,354 theaters, brings the film’s grand domestic total to $17,913,000. This beats out Ponyo’s domestic earnings, but doesn’t bode terribly well for Imagi’s take on Osamu Tezuka’s squat hero.
