Out of this $69.1, $18.1 million occurred internationally, according to the TWC, as it has struggled to keep up with other animated films and their studios in this space.

Rival toy makers have not seen the results that the Danish company has seen, with “Transformers” and the G.I Joe franchises.

Phil lord who was a director and Chris Miller a writer have previously worked on Lego films and this but a great accomplishment in terms of their previous successes.
