"The Wild Robot" Becomes One of Highest-Grossing Animated Movies of All-Time

"The Wild Robot" has been one of the most successful animated movies of the year at the box office, recently grossing $6.6 million during its seventh full weekend in theaters to claim the #4 spot, behind only "Heretic", "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever", and "Venom: The Last Dance". 

This strong recent weekend helped "The Wild Robot" reach $130 million domestically, which makes it one of the top 100 highest-grossing animated movies of all time. 

The movie began the weekend in the #103 spot, sitting behind "Cloud with a Chance of Meatballs", but it has since jumped up to #97, also moving past "Bee Movie", "Migration", "Robots", and "The Peanut Movie". "The Wild Robot" has also grossed $161 million internationally to bring its worldwide box office total to $292 million. 

After entering the top 100 highest-grossing movies of the year at the domestic box office, "The Wild Robot" is also poised to rise even higher up the list. 

The animated film needs less than $1 million to pass "Rio 2" (2014), and another $4 million will move it past "Chicken Little" (2005). If the movie makes it to the $138 million mark domestically, it will also cross "Dinosaur" (2000) and Disney’s "A Christmas Carol" (2009) to inch its way close to becoming one of the top 90 highest-grossing animated movies ever. 

"The Wild Robot" is also one of the top 15 movies of the year at the domestic box office, currently sitting in the #13 spot, and the movie is also closing in on becoming one of Universal's 75 highest-grossing films ever, requiring only $3 million to pass "Hulk" (2003). 

"The Wild Robot" voice cast stars Lupita Nyong’o as Roz, Pedro Pascal as Fink the Fox, Kit Connor as Brightbill, Ving Rhames voicing Thunderbolt, Mark Hamill plays Thorn, and Catherine O’Hara lending her voice to the role of Pinktail.
