![]() The family friendly film, based on the novel by Garth Stein, represents another dud for Disney since acquiring 20th Century Fox. “The Kitchen” opened below Disney-Fox’s canine adventure “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” which arrived at the lower end of projections with $8 million, placing sixth on box office charts. “ The Kitchen” was panned by both critics and audiences.

Parents and kids accounted for 43% of opening weekend crowds, while over half of audiences were women and girls. The PG comedy - starring Isabela Moner as Dora - brought out families and females. Overseas, Dora the Explorer’s big-screen debut pocketed $2.5 million for a global bow of $19.5 million. The live-action action adventure, based on the animated kids TV show, launched in fourth place with $17 million from 3,735 screens, a lukewarm start for a film that cost nearly $50 million. Like “Scary Stories,” Paramount’s “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,” also catered to younger female moviegoers. Four other films opened nationwide this weekend with mixed to disappointing results. ![]() “ Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” was the only wide release to beat expectations. “It’s particularly satisfying to see families experiencing the fun of the movie together.” “The filmmakers and the team at CBS Films are thrilled that moviegoers are embracing the world of Scary Stories,” del Toro said in a statement. “Scary Stories” tied 2012’s “The Woman in Black” as CBS Film’s biggest opening to date.
