With that in mind, Russell’s latest will probably top out around $11 or 12 million opening weekend to take second place, although it may have some tough competition from “Smile” in its second weekend. (Pop star Taylor Swift also has a small role, but will the “Swifties” care enough to show up ala Harry Styles fans for “Don’t Worry Darling”?) More recently, Paramount’s “Clifford the Big Red Dog” opened with $16.6 million in November 2021, but that didn’t get quite the holiday bump against “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” topping out at $48.9 million.

And I think the redemption of the character, in the end, is what really rounds it all out. Valenti (Bardem), to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality. Will Speck: I think there's something inherent about Javier that is lovable, and I think Josh and I both knew that when we cast him. Lyle's able to open it up to him, and I think Lyle's so much about food, so that infectious energy is what he gives to Mrs. Because people are flawed in life, you know what I mean Sometimes, they can be both bad and good, and those are the most interesting characters. When a series of mishaps leaves the now-grown Lyle in the care of the Primm family, made up of Constance Wu and Scoot McNairy as the parents and Winslow Fegley as their son Josh, the entire neighborhood is about to be changed through the power of song. Josh Gordon: Loretta is a character in the book, who is the sort of the mean girl of the story. What was your dialogue like with Javier about how to portray this character and still make him as lovable as he is? She turned into one of the top characters in the movie; it was really amazing. With a screenplay by Will Davies and original songs courtesy of La La Land's Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the feel-food picture is ready to get audiences' toes tapping.

This fall season is a crucial one to determine the viability of original films intended for older audiences after films like “Cry Macho,” “West Side Story,” and “The Last Duel” all tanked last year. 1 finish from “Lyle,” and the release of “Halloween Ends” and “Black Adam” over the next two weeks, there will be other high-profile offerings for general audiences. Meanwhile, the last family film that was released was Warner Bros.’ “DC League of Super-Pets,” a film that opened to $23 million in late July and just inched past the break-even point with $191 million grossed worldwide against a $90 million budget. Rival distributors tell TheWrap that they don’t see “Lyle” overperforming to that degree, but believe an opening in the mid-to-high teens is possible. “Lyle” has a reported production budget of $50 million, similar to fellow Sony release “ “Lyle Lyle Crocodile” won’t reach such lofty heights, but Sony/Columbia hopes that a lack of kid-friendly fare since midsummer will help turn it into a hit.

And it just felt like it’s the right time to be telling that kind of a story. Movieguide® has yet to review the movie and cannot advise on its content. Even like ‘Where the Wild Things Are,’ there’s sort of this kind of undercurrent of something other than just what appears on the surface,” Speck told Movieguide® during a recent visit to the Sony Studio lot in Culver City, CA.

Directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck collectively known as Speck and Gordon (“Office Christmas Party,” “Blades of Glory”), who expect us to believe that a math teacher could afford a brownstone on the Upper East Side (and owe an apology to Marvin Gaye), don’t get enough out of their cast. “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” is based on a series of books by the late Bernard Waber, who lived with his family in New York City in the 1960s and worked as an illustrator for Conde Nast. She is horrified at first and screams at the top of her lungs. After setting up the premise and sending Hector off on the road from which he does not return, the action begins a second time with the arrival of the Primm family at the Victorian brownstone on 88th Street, where Hector and Lyle lived.

During a scene where Josh is flying through NYC on a motorbike with Lyle in the sidecar, the most inventive visual the production could seemingly come up with is Lyle accidentally launching a face-filter app on a cellphone while trying to open the GPS. Despite the initial terror (understandable), Lyle soon grows close to them, particularly the slightly precocious and neurotic young boy Josh (Fegley), within whom he finds a true friend.
