The story of the film is based on a children’s book, and the emotions and relationships of its characters are depicted very well. The film did not earn well initially, but gradually its popularity increased, and now it has become a big hit.
The collections of the film have proved that its story and characters have touched the hearts of the audience. The film has made a steady increase in collections in about two months after its release. After the first week, the film earned $35.8 million, which was not a great success, but then the box office performance of the film increased rapidly after that.

What are the reasons for the success of Wild Robot?
There can be many reasons behind the success of The Wild Robot. First of all, it has a unique and interesting plot. The story of the relationship between a robot and a little orphan child connects the audience emotionally. This film not only attracts children, but also older audiences. The story of the film is simple but impressive. The film also has a hidden message, which shows how relationships and love are the greatest aspects of humanity, whether it is humans or robots.
The second reason is its strong characters. The relationship between Rose and Brightbill is the soul of the film. Lupita Nyong’o’s voice has given Rose’s character a greater depth, and Kit Connor has played Brightbill with heart. The acting of both of them has made the film even more impressive. Apart from this, the visuals and animation techniques of the film are also very attractive. The scenes of the film are visually very beautiful, and the quality of the animation has surprised the audience.
The slow but steady increasing collections of the film also make it a success. Initially, the film did not earn much, but then gradually its popularity increased, and it became a big hit. This shows that when the story and characters of a film are good, the audience accepts the film over time and comes back to watch it again and again. The box office performance of the film increased not only in North America but also internationally, paving the way for its success.
How has the film’s box office performance been?
The box office performance of The Wild Robot has been excellent. The film grossed around $35.8 million in its first week of release, which was not a great success. However, the film’s performance continued to rise after that, and it gradually became a big hit. As of Friday, the film has grossed $300.5 million worldwide. Of this, $134.4 million came from North America and $166.1 million from the international market. This shows that the film has attracted not only domestic but also international audiences.
The film’s increasing collections show that its popularity is constantly increasing. Although the film had a slow start at first, it made a strong comeback after that. It has been a steady and strong performer at the box office. The film’s performance is especially significant when we see that it has become the 14th film of 2024 to cross the $300 million milestone. This success proves the appreciation of the film’s story, characters, and visuals.
Also, the film’s success is special because it is an animated film and animated films usually grow at a slower pace than live-action films. However, Wild Robot has proven that when a film’s story and its message are strong, audiences love it. Wild Robot is just $15.2 million away from becoming the 100th highest-grossing animated film of all time, which creates even more excitement about its upcoming performance.
