Box Office Update: 'The Wild Robot' Soars While 'Megalopolis' Struggles

In a remarkable turn of events at the box office, DreamWorks’ animated feature 'The Wild Robot' is set to open with approximately $35 million, marking it as one of the best family films of the year. Critics are raving about its captivating storytelling and emotional depth, with many praising it as a strong contender for the Oscars. The film, based on the beloved children's book, has received excellent reviews, positioning it as the third best September animated picture debut. In stark contrast, 'Megalopolis' continues to struggle, projected to earn less than $5 million and receiving a disappointing D+ CinemaScore. While 'The Wild Robot' charms audiences, 'Megalopolis' fails to capture their attention, highlighting a significant shift in the animation landscape as DreamWorks takes a prominent role.
