How much does it need to overtake Wildwood at the worldwide box office?
Wildwood is Laika’s latest stop-motion animation, which was in development for seven years. The original animation earned impressive ratings from critics and audiences; however, the box office run was a bit timid compared to those ratings. According to the latest numbers on Box Office Mojo, Wildwood has collected $62.9 million at the worldwide box office to date. It is still actively running in theaters.
The Cat in the Hat needs a 61% jump worldwide to surpass the global gross of Wildwood and take the lead in the box office chart of 2026 worldwide. It is less than $25 million away from outgrossing the Laika Studios movie. It might happen over this weekend.
What is the film about?
