DreamWorks Animation/Universal’s The Wild Robot grossed $1.95M yesterday from showtimes that began at 2PM in 3,000 theaters.
The Lupita Nyong’o voiced movie is expected to lead the box office with a $20M+ take, and that preview take indicates that given previous DWA comps, read it’s higher than Trolls Band Together ($1.3M) which resulted in a $9.3M opening day and $30M opening, and it’s above The Bad Guys which did $1.15M in previews, a $7.98M opening day and a $23.9M opening.
Lionsgate’s release of Francis Ford Coppola/Zoetrope’s $120M self-financed Megalopolis did $770k which includes Monday’s live Imax event. We told you that alone grossed around $300K. No one is expecting this movie to do well, pegged to open between $5M-$7M; clearly a big loss with the red ink falling on the Coppola winery proprieter. What can be celebrated is that the 5x Oscar winning 85-year old winning filmmaker is seeing is cinematic dream get a theatrical release, and not sidelined and lost on streaming.
