Reviews
Ballerina opened to strong box office numbers with a $51 million global debut ($25M domestic + $26M international), landing at #2 behind Lilo & Stitch. While it underperformed initial projections, both critics and audiences responded positively—CinemaScore graded it an A–, and PostTrak showed 87% positive feedback, with 79% definite recommendations. The Washington Post noted that Ballerina brings a fresh spin to the franchise—mixing “stylized violence” with unexpected humour and inventive action set‑pieces. While its tone is at times uneven, it ultimately pays off with originality in the climactic Czech village sequence.
