The Wild Robotisbased on the children’s bookbyPeter Brown. It is in pole position to win the Best Motion Picture – Animated at the upcoming 82nd Golden Globe Awards. However, the film’s release could also make it a strong contender for the upcoming 97th Academy Awards.
The film could significantly improve its already impressive box office numbers. It fell just short of the $496.4 millioncollectionofElemental, one of the highest-grossing animated movies from the last couple of years not based on an existing franchise. As a result,The Wild Robotwill have a chance to surpass the film’s lifetime gross.
If the film crosses the $500 million mark at the box office, it will only add to the hype of its upcoming sequel which is already in development. Furthermore, given that it has already seen a digital release, it will be interesting to see if the film manages to draw audiences back for the big screen experience, which will cement it as one of the best animated movies.
The Wild Robotcan be rented on Amazon Prime Video.
