‘Wild Robot’ Beeps Close To $2M, ‘Megalopolis’ Begins With $770K – Box Office Previews

DreamWorks Animation/Universal’s The Wild Robot grossed $1.95M yesterday from showtimes that began at 2PM in 3,000 theaters.

The Lupita Nyong’o voiced movie is expected to lead the box office with a $20M+ take, and that preview take indicates that given previous DWA comps, read it’s higher than Trolls Band Together ($1.3M) which resulted in a $9.3M opening day and $30M opening, and it’s above The Bad Guys which did $1.15M in previews, a $7.98M opening day and a $23.9M opening.

Lionsgate’s release of Francis Ford Coppola/Zoetrope’s Megalopolis did $770k.
