DreamWorks' Forgotten Island Falls Out of Top Five With $4.5M Weekend
Forgotten Island has grossed $30 million domestically after roughly 17 days and $50 million worldwide against a reported $80 million budget.
DreamWorks Animation's Forgotten Island dropped out of the top five at the domestic box office with $4.5 million over the weekend, according to Collider. The animated fantasy film was also outperformed that same weekend by The Social Reckoning, which took in $5.5 million.
After about 17 days of release, Forgotten Island has grossed $30 million domestically, with its worldwide total standing at $50 million.
The film carries a reported budget of $80 million, and would need at least $100 million more worldwide to break even theatrically.
A difficult run for an original animated title
Forgotten Island opened with just $13 million domestically in its first frame, an unimpressive figure compared with most other animated movies given major theatrical runs. Over the last five years, DreamWorks has significantly reduced spending on its original animated movies, with most costing less than $100 million.
Illumination has followed a similar lower-spending strategy. Its latest film, Minions & Monsters, part of the Despicable Me franchise and distributed by Universal, underperformed compared with its Despicable Me predecessors but still grossed $525 million worldwide against a reported $85 million budget.
