The film just recently passed Bob Marley: One Love, the Bob Marley biopic which finished its theatrical run just short of $97 million, and the week before, it moved past The Fall Guy, the Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling-led stunt action epic that only earned $96 million domestically on a reported budget of $125 million. Once The Wild Robot passes Alien: Romulus, it will need another $6 million to move past IF, the family comedy directed by John Krasinski and starring Ryan Reynolds. It would then stand a solid chance of moving further up by grossing another $2 million to pass Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, starring Paul Rudd.<h2>‘The Wild Robot’ Features a Star-Studded Cast </h2>The Wild Robot is led by Lupita Nyong'o in the titular role as Roz, with Pedro Pascal playing her small fox companion, Fink.
