Computer-generated creatures continue to torment Comcast Corp.’s Universal Pictures.
‘Dolittle,’ a $175 million film based on the 1920s book series about a physician who can talk to animals, is expected to flop in its opening weekend.
It’s the second Universal film in weeks with CGI animals that’s been greeted with scathing reviews and weak sales prospects: The lambasted “Cats” bombed in December.
“You need good reviews for family films,” said Jeff Bock, an analyst at Exhibitor Relations. “These aren’t even mediocre.”
