Walt Disney Studios around $150 million to produce, grossed only a studio-estimated $6.8 million, making it the lowest opening ever for a 3-D animated film debuting in more than 2,000 theaters. The family film was annihilated by the $36-million haul of "Battle: Los Angeles," which centers on a Marine unit's struggle against aliens invading the city. "Mars" also fell behind the weekend's other new release, a gothic retelling of "Red Riding Hood," which opened to a so-so $14.1 million.
