The Wild Robot has hit a major global milestone, possibly breaking even in the process. The new DreamWorks animated movie follows Roz (Lupita Nyong’o) a robot who finds herself stranded on a desert island and forges a motherly bond with an orphaned gosling named Brightbill (Kit Connor). The Wild Robot release kicked off with a middling $35.8 million opening weekend, but it has had a slow and steady climb to become the fifth highest-grossing animated movie of the year so far, behind The Garfield Movie, Kung Fu Panda 4, Despicable Me 4, and Inside Out 2.
Per Box Office Mojo, The Wild Robot has passed the $200 million milestone worldwide as of its fifth weekend in theaters. It has become the 16th movie to pass that milestone so far in 2024 and will shortly overtake Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire ($201.8 million) as the 15th highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide. Additionally, it has seemingly become profitable at long last, as its $78 million budget likely means that its break-even point was somewhere around $195 million.
