Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse nabbed the biggest December opening for an animated film, netting $35 million. Mortal Engines, from Peter Jackson, only managed $7 million (on a $100 Million budget).

I thought Mortal Engines looked interesting from the trailers, but I chose to watch Spider-Man instead. Going up against Spider-Man is probably not doing it any favours. I haven’t seen Mortal Engines yet so I don’t know if it’s any good, but if it isn’t terrible, its performance may improve over the next few weeks.
Yeah, it’s not a great idea to go against Spider-Man.
Reviewing Spider-man, on the other hand, would be a great idea!
Kids (high school age) and I saw both…Spiderverse was hands down a better movie. Mortal Engines was enjoyable, but there were maybe 20 people in our very large IMAX theater for the showing. Not counting on the other books getting movies made.
