A financial executive, Evan Danielson (Eddie Murphy) can't stop his career's downspiral. However, it turns out that his young daughter, Olivia (Yara Shahidi), with the help of her magical blanket called the 'Goo-Ga' and her imaginary friends, is capable of predicting which stocks are good investments. Meanwhile, his scheming co-worker Johnny Whitefeather (Thomas Haden Church) tries to figure out Evan's secret to his newly found success.
The score to Imagine That was composed by Mark Mancina, who had previously worked with director Karey Kirkpatrick on Over the Hedge. He recorded his score with an 83-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Sony Scoring Stage.[3]
Imagine That was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 13, 2009. [4]
The film is a co-production between Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies. Because Hotel for Dogs was released by DreamWorks instead of Paramount, Paramount reunited with Nickelodeon Movies to co-produce the film.
The film received negative reviews from critics.[5] Rotten Tomatoes reported that 38% of critics gave positive reviews based on 73 reviews with an average score of 5.1/10.[6] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average of 53% based on 22 reviews.[5]
On its opening weekend, the film opened #6 grossing $5,503,519 in 3,008 theaters with an $1,830 average.[7] As of August 9 2009, the film has grossed $16,135,104 worldwide.[1] This opened similar to Eddie Murphy's previous summer movie Meet Dave which also opened poorly its opening week. However, Meet Dave received worse reviews than Imagine That.
