‘Ninjago’ is set to open

The latest in the Lego movie franchise hits theaters Friday when Warner Bros. releases “Ninjago,” which is expected to gross as much as $40 million in its opening weekend. The revenue comes at a key time for Lego Group, which has been through management upheaval and recently announced it would cut 1,400 jobs. Two previous Lego movies have grossed nearly $800 million.
