Box Office: ‘Megalopolis’ Crumbles With $4 Million, ‘The Wild Robot’ Lands at No. 1 With $35 Million
"Megalopolis" collapsed in its opening weekend while "The Wild Robot" nabbed first place with $35 million.
Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s “ The Wild Robot ” landed in first place on box office charts, taking flight on the higher end of expectations with $35 million from 3,962 venues. Set in a futuristic America, “Megalopolis” follows an architect (Adam Driver) who clashes with the corrupt mayor (Giancarlo Esposito) in determining how to rebuild the metropolis of New Rome after a disaster. “The Wild Robot” cost $78 million, so it hopes to enjoy the staying power that benefitted post-pandemic animated family films such as Pixar’s “Elemental” and Illumination’s “Migration,” both of which parlayed positive sentiments into ticket sales in the months after their debuts.
