According to SF Gate, Sony's 'Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation' matched the performance of its predecessors with a $44 million in its opening weekend. That figure sits in between the $42 million start for 2012?s ?Hotel Transylvania? and the $48 million made by the 2015 sequel. Overseas, the film made $54.8 million from 42 markets, giving 'Hotel Transylvania 3' the biggest global launch for a Sony Animated film. Those numbers are good news for Sony, who kept the budget for this film to a relatively thrifty $80 million.
