DIARY OF A WIMPY KID
Budget: $19,000,000
Total Box Office: $18,000,669
Total Profit: -$17,489,101
Despite recognizable source material and a comedic twist on the beloved franchise, Diary of a Wimpy Kid failed to connect with audiences and became one of the weaker commercial starts for a comedy in recent LRF history. The result continues an uneven financial track record for writer Alex Conn in the genre.
BOX OFFICE FACT
Alex Conn has now written 16 comedy films for the studio, but only five have turned a profit, with the most recent success coming from Slowly Dying back in Season 30.

DONKEY KONG COUNTRYBudget: $120,000,000Total Box Office: $720,434,668Total Profit: $242,043,104
Nintendo’s momentum within LRF continued in dominant fashion as Donkey Kong Country became an instant event film and one of the studio’s strongest animated performers ever. While it fell short of Super Mario’s all-time record, the film comfortably solidified Nintendo adaptations as one of LRF’s safest commercial brands.
BOX OFFICE FACTDonkey Kong Country now ranks as the #2 highest-grossing animated film in LRF history, surpassing Season 33’s The Legend of Zelda ($471M) and trailing only Season 17’s Super Mario ($879M). All three are Nintendo adaptations.

A strong critical reception and awards potential ultimately failed to translate into financial success for Pirouette, which narrowly missed profitability despite respectable theatrical business for an adult drama. Even so, the loss stands out more because of the names involved than the severity of the underperformance.
BOX OFFICE FACTJimmy Ellis and John Malone have now co-written 14 films together, with Pirouette becoming only their third financial loser, joining Paki (-$31M, Season 26) and Blue Ridge (-$21M, Season 23).
