Per Forbes:

... Norm of the North actually had a decent hold, even if it was following a mediocre weekend debut. The Lionsgate animated release earned 820k on its second Friday for a likely $3.5m weekend (-40%) and $14m ten-day total. The House That Jigsaw Built will make money on this cheap acquisition. ...

Which goes to show the commercial power of theatrical animation here in the 21st century.
