      Was there a higher expectation than that? It couldn’t have been more than a million or so above that. It was always going to be doomed financially.

      It was barely marketed and known mainly by its notoriety.

      The budget of it is irrelevant to box office expectation.

      Never have I wanted a movie to bomb so badly until Megalopolis, it sounded and looked like the most pretentious shite.

      My kid has been obsessed with The Wild Robot series for the last year and a half or so since his teacher read through the first book to his class. Has read through them all twice and was dying to see this. I went in somewhat blind on Friday and was absolutely blown away.

      I’m not usually one that gets too hyped about visuals, but the visuals in this one are incredible. !>The migration scene and the fire scene were breathtaking<!. The criticism is that the plot is a bit thin, which sure it may be a bit cliche, but they do a ton of character development to make up for it so it didn’t bother me. Also hit that sweet spot where it’s a kids movie, but has a lot of stuff for parents too. Joins the spiderverse films, inside out and Mitchells vs the machines as the select group of kids movies that I’m genuinely happy mine has found.

      Was extra cool because after getting home from seeing it Friday, I was just browsing stuff about it and happened to see that the next morning the author Peter Brown was doing a book signing like an hour away. Was able to meet and chat with him for a few while getting little dudes books signed (as well as a copy of the movie version with images from the film). Was a really nice dude who said he wanted to make a point of not trying to influence the filmmakers vision to match his book, and while there were some differences he noticed, he was really happy with how the filmmakers adapted it.

      Was a really fun weekend becoming a fan of this series. Glad it’s doing well hopefully leading to the sequels.

      It’s going to be an uphill climb for ‘The Wild Robot’ to make its budget back. I am impressed that it did better this weekend than ‘Transformers One’s last weekend.

      This is like the 4 or 5th movie that has a very ambiguous plot and packed with super stars in the last what like 2 years that has failed? I get that arthouse movies can be good and fun, but they put huge budgets and then do a shit job really drawing interest

      I am shocked studios weren’t rushing to give this a $100million marketing budget. /s

      The Wild Robot is great. It suffers a bit from Up/Wall-E syndrome where it can’t maintain the momentum of its pitch perfect first half, but overall it is still a magical film.

      I want to see both.

      I want to see Wild Robot because it looks amazing.

      And I want to see Megalopolis because I want to know how big of train wreck it really is.

      I watched the official trailer and it looked like a blend of inception and tenant, stupid.

      I refuse to see anything with John Voight in it. His political shit bombs are toxic. Fuck that guy

      I haven’t seen 1 trailer for this, and i go to movies like once a month. The only poster I’ve seen ere shared by users on reddit.

      This is the first I’ve ever heard about these movies existing. Did they advertise about them?

    17. nerdalert on

      I saw the Wild Robot with my son on Friday. I definitely didn’t cry at any point. Great movie.

    18. donkeybrisket on

      One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Half the theater walked out.

      The Wild Robot was such an endearing story and really well made overall, go check it out, you’ll enjoy it!
