Gabby's Dollhouse Movie Surges to $23.4M Worldwide in Debut Week

In the week since its release, Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie has made a significant impact at the North American box office. The live-action animated musical fantasy comedy, inspired by the popular Netflix series, has shown consistent domestic performance, securing the number 4 spot in the domestic charts on Friday.

The movie has now earned over $17 million in North America, and its limited international release has brought in just over $5 million, pushing the total worldwide earnings to about $23.4 million. The domestic audience response has been strong, while the international response is modest for now. However, with a wider global release planned, these numbers are expected to rise significantly.

Gabby's Dollhouse has also surpassed Universal Pictures' sports horror release "Him" in box office performance. The film "Him" had received significant promotional focus, which might have been an over-investment considering Gabby's Dollhouse's rising popularity. The timing and promotional strategy could have boosted Gabby's Dollhouse even more, and the movie's theater count has risen slightly, reflecting growing confidence from theater owners, which could translate to greater success in North America.
