Animal Farm Box Office Prediction

Unless I’m vastly underestimating the number of toddlers clamoring for George Orwell adaptations, Animal Farm could face a tough road when it opens May 1st. Based on the author’s 1945 dystopian fable, Andy Serkis directs the animated treatment with an all-star voice cast. That includes Seth Rogen, Gaten Matatrazzo, Kieran Culkin, Glenn Close, Laverne Cox, Steve Buscemi, Woody Harrelson, Jim Parsons, Kathleen Turner, Iman Vellani, and Serkis himself voicing multiple parts.

Precious dollars might be hard to secure. Angel Studios is handling distribution duties and their marketing footprint appears light. Buzz is also quiet and the mostly mediocre reviews (36% Rotten Tomatoes, 40 Metacritic) should give parents pause to take the kiddos. Add all that up and this Farm might yielded a return in the low single digits.

Animal Farm opening weekend prediction: $2.7 million
