What These Opening Totals Mean for Wild Bots and Mega City
Only one new version is expected to break even
This opening weekend total wild robot Release from a firm footing. Although it was only the third highest anime premiere in September, it was only behind 2012 Hotel Transylvania ($42.5 million) and 2015 Hotel Transylvania 2 ($48.4 million), with global box office totals of $358.4 million and $475.2 million respectively. If the new movie can keep up with those films, it could gross around $295 million by the end of its run, which would be a pretty hefty total relative to its $78 million budget.

wild robot
The break-even point is approximately $195 million.
In contrast, Megacity There was a tough road ahead to launch. Distributor Lionsgate is only responsible for the money paid to acquire the project, not the massive $120 million budget. However, the self-financed film took a financial toll on Coppola, whose risky moves included selling part of his winery to fund the sci-fi epic. Opening in the single digits, it seems unlikely that it will make back that money in theaters, let alone turn a profit.
Our thoughts on the weekend box office
Megacities hit hard compared to weekend’s top hits
Although wild robot and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice The box office is likely to continue enjoying strong chart performance in the coming weeks, and it looks likely Megacity It would immediately fall out of the top five in its second week of release. A critical boost seems unlikely for Coppola’s project, which has a CinemaScore of D+ and an audience score of 41% on Rotten Tomatoes. Plus the upcoming sequel to the superhero blockbuster “Joker: Pas de Deux” could spell doom for this ambitious sci-fi movie.
