BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Hugh Jackman, Zoe Saldana and Zach Galifianakis lead an all-star voice cast in this globetrotting adventure from LAIKA, the makers of Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings. Hugh Jackman is Sir Lionel Frost, a brave and dashing adventurer who considers himself to be the world's foremost investigator of myths and monsters. The trouble is no one else seems to agree. Zach Galifianakis is Mr. Link. As species go, he's as endangered as they get; he's possibly the last of his kind, he's lonely, and he believes that Sir Lionel is the one man alive who can help him. Along with the independent and resourceful Adelina Fortnight (Zoe Saldana), who possesses the only known map to the group's secret destination, the unlikely trio embarks on a riotous rollercoaster ride of a journey to seek out Link's distant relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri-La.

"Missing Link" is a new stop-motion animated film from Laika, the company that brought us "Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls" and "Kubo and the Two Strings". Written and directed by Chris Butler, the film tells the story of Mr. Link (Zach Galifianakis), a funny, sweet, and adorably literal Sasquatch, who requests the help of English explorer Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman) in finding his relatives.

The cast also features the voices of Zoe Saldana, Stephen Fry, Timothy Olyphant, Emma Thompson, Amrita Acharia and Matt Lucas.

"Missing Link" opened in theaters on April 12, 2019 and received mostly positive reviews from critics.

Box-Office: SHAZAM! Tops Second Weekend as HELLBOY Disappoints

Warner Bros' superhero flick "Shazam!" held the spot for its second weekend against four new wide releases, most of which underperformed. The fantasy comedy "Little" and the teen romance "After" performed well at the box-office, while "Missing Link" and "Hellboy" missed the mark.

Find out more about the weekend box-office after the jump.

In Theaters: HELLBOY, MISSING LINK, AFTER and LITTLE

This weekend we get no less than 4 new wide releases. The first is the "Hellboy" reboot starring David Harbour, which is suffering a merciless beating from critics, and its Rotten Tomatoes rating is currently at a catastrophic 13%. Audience scores are also pretty low (66 on Rotten Tomatoes and a 4.0 on Metacritic) and CinemaScore reports a terrible "C" grade. The film brought in $1.38 million from Thursday previews, and if things go well, the R-rated superhero flick will finish the weekend with around $16 million from 3,303 theaters.

The second major release is Laika's latest animated feature "Missing Link" which has been getting solid reviews from critics, but a mixed reception from moviegoers ("B+" grade from CinemaScore's polls). The film is expected to open with around $10 million from 3,413 theaters, which would be Laika's lowest debut ever.

Also out now in theaters is the teenage romance "After" starring Josephine Langford ("Wish Upon") and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (Joseph and Ralph Fiennes's 21-year-old nephew), which is based on Anna Todd's best-selling novel. Pundits predict a near-bottom Top 10 debut at the box-office, with $4 million from 2,138 theaters. The film has received a generally negative reception from critics, but moviegoers were more forgiving as indicated by CinemaScore's "B" grade.

And the last new wide release is the "Big"-in-reverse fantasy comedy "Little" starring Regina Hall, Issa Rae and Marsai Martin. The film has better box-office prospects and is expected to debut with around $16 million from 2,667 theaters, even though the critical and audience reception was mostly mixed. CinemaScore reports a "B+" grade.
