Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' tops $300 Million worldwide, 'The Wild Robot' brings $6.8 Million internationally

The recently released movie by DreamWorks Animation, *The Wild Robot*, has been great on international box office route in its opening days with a gross of $6.85 million in eight countries. The film performs best in China contributing about $4 m and Australia around $1.9 m. Now for North America and other territories, *The Wild Robot*, science-fiction survival tale about a robot marooned on a deserted island, comes to North America and other territories on September 27. Pundits and industry experts are talking cautiously optimistic about this movie, calling it a surprise contender for boxoffice success as early reviews are turning out to be positive. The film features Lupita Nyong'o as the voice for the robot, known as ROZZUM unit 7134, or Roz, learns how to survive from the animals she befriends on the island.On the other hand, the animated film *Transformers One* by Paramount and Hasbro received less success in the box office internationally to the amount of $14 million from 50 countries. *Transformers One* could well have opened wider than The Wild Robot, but it had to be content with an earnings order of only roughly double that sum. The film's biggest opening was in Mexico, where it grossed $2.2 million. Australia followed with $1.5 million; then Japan came in with $820,000, and Panama with $625,000. The movie, featuring the voices of Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson, got off to a slower than expected start, bringing in $25 million in North America. The movie has raked in $39 million worldwide so far but is still short of the budgets for a movie like $75 million. *Transformers One*, which Josh Cooley of *Toy Story 4* also directed, had the origin story of the Autobots-Decepticons fight. Imax prints were able to bring in an extra $3 million in global earnings, especially from strong showings in Japan, India, and the Middle East.Even as new films open, *Beetlejuice Beetlejuice* remains the box office champ. For the third week in a row, Tim Burton's follow-up dominated both domestic and international boxes. The horror film grossed $17.2 million from 76 international markets, propelling the subtotal overseas to $103 million. Worldwide, the movie has taken in $329.7 million. A portion of the top film at the weekend was part of only a few spots this September that shone more brightly for the box office.Such consistent performances by *Beetlejuice Beetlejuice* support in equal measure the strong audience appeal, while other films may not have the same success with the box office.
