5 posted the second-biggest opening weekend for an animated movie ever, trailing only Incredibles 2. The result marked a significant lift for theater chains after a slower period earlier in the year.
The strong turnout occurred during a weekend with limited major competing releases. The company said the performance reflected renewed audience interest in family-oriented animated features.
