The Wild Robothas been one of the biggest hits of the year, with box office success continuing to pour in and both critical and audience acclaim at all-time highs.The Wild Robotcurrently sits at a nearly perfect 98% score from both critics and audiences on the aggregate siteRotten Tomatoes, and the film has also grossed over $87 million worldwide after an extremely successful Monday, earning $3.5 million. As it sits,The Wild Robotneeds less than $5 million more domestically to passThe Fall Guyto become Universal’s fourth-highest-grossing movie of the year, which it will likely reach before the weekend if the $3.5 million-earning Monday is any indicator. The film has also collected an additional $65 million overseas to bring its worldwide box office total to more than $152 million.
The Fall Guywas one of the biggest box office letdowns of the year, boasting a reported budget of around $150 million, but only opening to less than $28 million domestically. It did put together a respectable run, finishing with a worldwide total of more than $180 million, but it still lost Universal a good chunk of change, asRyan GoslingandEmily Blunt’s charm proved to not move the needle as much as the studio had hoped. OnceThe Wild Robotclimbs pastThe Fall Guyto become Universal’s fourth-highest-grossing movie of the year, it will need a major domestic surge to take the third place spot, asKung Fu Panda 4earned more than $193 million. While this may be out of reach, finishing in fourth ahead ofThe Fall Guy,Argylle, and more, is a respectable run forThe Wild Robot.
