The flick was released in the The states by Universal Pictures on Dec 21, 2018.[1] The studio spent $60 meg on prints and advertising for the film. The original plan was to spend $120 million, but after early test screenings went poorly, costs were cutting.[4]

Reception [edit]

Box role [edit]

Welcome to Marwen grossed $ten.eight meg in the The states and Canada, and $2.three million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $xiii.ane million, against a production budget of around $39 1000000.[three]

Critical response [edit]

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 35% based on 168 reviews and an boilerplate score of 4.nine/ten. The website's disquisitional consensus reads, "Welcome to Marwen has dazzling effects and a sadly compelling story, but the motion picture's disjointed feel and clumsy screenplay brand this invitation easy to refuse."[26] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of xl out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews."[27] Audiences polled past CinemaScore gave the moving-picture show an average grade of "B–" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it a 57% overall positive score and a 37% "definite recommend."[23]

Writing for IndieWire, David Ehrlich gave the movie a "C" and wrote, "In trying to gloat the healing powers of art, Zemeckis has created a sometimes fun, often morbidly compelling, and always ill-advised testament to the ways in which those healing powers tin create problems of their own."[28] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the picture show 1.5 out of four stars and said, "The way Zemeckis shapes these end-motility animation scenes, they're meant to be heady, funny, scary, a footling of everything. Merely they whack the movie completely off-kilter. We lose the foreign, quiet intimacy of Hogancamp'due south conscientious manipulation of this world. The real-life scenes don't feel like Hogancamp'south real life; they experience like a Hollywood falsification of it, despite Carell's and Mann's valiant efforts."[29]

Contrarily, Richard Roeper of The Chicago Sunday-Times praised the picture, giving information technology 3.five/4 stars and saying, "Leave it to the innovative and greatly skilled veteran manager Robert Zemeckis to evangelize a beautiful and endearingly eccentric moving picture based on the life and the imagination of Mark Hogancamp. And leave information technology to the chameleon everyman Steve Carell to deliver a subtle, layered, compassionate and memorable portrayal of Mark — both the man and the doll."[30]

Glenn Garner, writing in Out, noted that "Zemeckis' film surprisingly features a prominent and respectful depiction of Hogancamp'southward gender expansive dress, making it a potentially valuable form of representation for gender nonconforming viewers. It seems a missed opportunity as that detail was largely omitted from the pic's marketing."[31]
