Wildwood’s third weekend box office has locked in well above $6 million due to its better-than-expected opening of $12.3 million and resilient holds driven by a 99% Rotten Tomatoes score, an A CinemaScore, and strong audience engagement with its PG-13 stop-motion fantasy. Laika’s film outperformed early projections of $6–10 million by leveraging positive word-of-mouth and regional strength in markets like Portland, maintaining competitive positioning through its second frame before a modest third-weekend decline to roughly $6.6–7 million amid shifting competition. Traders see limited upside for lower brackets given these verified legs and steady per-theater averages near $2,300–2,600. An upset below $6 million would require an unusually sharp drop not supported by current tracking or historical patterns for well-reviewed original animation.
