Wild Robot posted the third best opening for an animated movie in September with $35M after an $11.3M Friday (including near $2M previews) and $14.2M on Saturday.
Families continued to flock to theaters this fall: Not only did Wild Robot post the third best opening for an animated movie in September with M after an .3M Friday (including near M previews) and .2M on Saturday, but Warner Bros’ Beetlejuice Beetlejuice refused to die with a -38% fourth weekend estimated hold, M take and a running total of 0.1M by EOD.

Forecasts for Wild Robot remained steady throughout the weekend. EntTelligence counted 2.7M admission for the movie, repping 39% of the weekend’s foot traffic.
