The wildly popular The Wild Robot<\/b> did wha the 40-year old Transformers franchise could not, and opens with 35$m<\/b>*, making it the third best opening for an animated movie in September. Beetlejuice 2 <\/b>has 16.3m$<\/b>, but is on its way to becoming Burton's second highest grossing movie at the domestic BO.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Transformers One<\/b> took a severe beating, getting 9$m<\/b> in its second weekend. Ironic, as Robot <\/b>moved to avoid competition with it, turns out, it WAS the competition. Devara Part 1 <\/b>had less theaters than Megaolopis and still opened higher with 6.4m$.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Megalopolis<\/b>, Liongate's FIFTH movie and arguably 4th flop, both in 2 months, opens less <\/i>than its expected numbers with 4m$.* Hey, Deadline says, 29% of you went bc of Adam Driver, good on ya.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
*About 40 theaters across major chains in the SouthEast were shut down Thursday and Friday due to Hurricane Helena AND <\/b>Regal had ticketing issues on Saturday. 'Robot<\/b>' could have made about 2m more, and 'Megaopolis<\/b>' could have made another 53.78$<\/span><\/p>\n
