Megalopolis' flops, The Wild Robot' soars at box office
Briefly

Megalopolis, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, debuted to just $4 million, far below expectations, especially considering its $120 million budget and self-financing.
In contrast, The Wild Robot opened to $35 million, benefitting from strong critical acclaim and audience enthusiasm, projecting a potentially long box office run.
Paul Dergarabedian from Comscore likened The Wild Robot’s strategy to Pixar's Elemental, suggesting both may achieve long-term box office success despite modest openings.
The family movie genre, highlighted by hits like Inside Out 2, is forecast to reach $6 billion in global revenues in 2024, returning to pre-pandemic numbers.
