Box Office: 'The Wild Robot' Triumphs While 'Megalopolis' Fails
'The Wild Robot' has emerged as a major success at the box office, soaring to a $35 million launch and claiming the number one spot in North America.

Many reviews describe it as a beautiful and immersive experience, emphasizing its responsible portrayal of AI and its capacity to resonate with audiences of all ages. Meanwhile, 'Megalopolis' continues to struggle, with reports indicating weak audience interest and limited box office traction.
