DreamWorks’ animated release, Forgotten Island, debuted this weekend, but it appears to have been overshadowed by competing releases. The feature narrowly secured a spot in the top five at the North American box office and is tracking below initial industry forecasts for its domestic opening weekend. Read on for the full details.
The picture has garnered positive ratings alongside strong word-of-mouth. It is characterized as a vibrant celebration of Filipino folklore and friendship, pairing creative visuals with a compelling emotional core. There is a possibility that ticket sales could pick up in subsequent weeks as positive audience buzz spreads.

This performance is relatively low considering the movie’s favorable reviews. By comparison, opening-day receipts fell short of The Wild Robot at $11.2 million, Encanto at $7.6 million, and Migration at $5.7 million domestically.
