As a seasoned movie-goer with a knack for finding hidden gems and a soft spot for animated films, I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the recent box office dynamics between “The Wild Robot” and “Terrifier 3”. It seems that the horror genre’s allure has once again proven to be irresistible, even for the younger crowd, who apparently found a way around the age restrictions of “Terrifier 3”.
The Wild Robot received a box office bump due to teens sneaking into Terrifier 3.
Over the past weekend, Terrifier 3 made its debut in U.S. cinemas. This extremely gruesome horror film was helmed by director Damien Leone, with David Howard Thorton portraying the character of Art the Clown.
To date, Terrifier 3 has raked in approximately $28.6 million worldwide, which is an immense success for Cineverse given that the movie was made on a modest budget of around $2 million.
How is Terrifier 3 helping The Wild Robot’s ticket sales?
Based on reports from The Hollywood Reporter, the success of Terrifier 3 appears to have positively impacted the box office earnings of The Wild Robot. Over the past weekend, The Wild Robot grossed around $14 million, representing a decrease of approximately 25.9% compared to the previous week. This drop is considered exceptionally low for a movie in its third week post-release, indicating strong audience interest and potential for continued success.
According to an article, it appears that cinemas showing Terrifier 3 are acting as if the movie is rated R, and they’re trying to prevent anyone under 17 from entering unless they’re accompanied by a parent or guardian. It’s been suggested that this could be because younger audiences might have purchased tickets for DreamWorks Animation and Universal’s The Wild Robot, intending to secretly watch Terrifier 3 instead, as there seems to be an increase in ticket sales for The Wild Robot around the same time. This trend continued on Monday, which was Indigenous Peoples Day.
On September 27, 2024, The Wild Robot hit the screens in US cinemas. To date, it has earned an impressive $154.5 million at box offices worldwide. Directed by Chris Sanders, this movie adaptation of Peter Brown’s 2016 novel shares the same name, boasts a star-studded voice cast that includes Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames.
As a diehard horror enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement about Terrifier 3, which, unlike other films, has chosen to go the unrated route. This groundbreaking decision positions it as the potential highest-grossing unrated movie ever made! On a different note, The Wild Robot, though suitable for younger audiences with its PG rating, offers an engaging blend of action, perilous situations, and thought-provoking themes.
Both The Wild Robot and Terrifier 3 are currently playing in United States theaters.
