The hope here for Paramount this weekend given such a prime piece of Viacom IP is that Dora dashes past $20M and over-indexes (as it should for a property that since 2002 has reportedly accounted for well north of $11 billion in worldwide consumer sales).
Directed by James Bobin, Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a slightly more mature but still family friendly spin on the Dora the Explorer Nick Jr. preschool TV series, as Dora (Isabela Moner) teams up with her cousin Diego and a strange jungle inhabitant (Jeff Wahlberg and Eugenio Derbez) to rescue her captured parents (Eva Longoria and Michael Peña).
