As a DreamWorks Animation release, *Forgotten Island* is not projected to claim the #1 spot in North America, though it is heading toward a respectable opening weekend in the region. Given the animated feature’s substantial budget, let’s examine its worldwide break-even requirements ahead of its premiere.
Distributed by Universal Pictures, the animated fantasy comedy draws inspiration from Philippine mythology and has garnered positive critical reception. It stands as the lone animated feature holding a major presence in cinemas, backed by a star-studded voice cast featuring H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng, Kevin McCann, and Lea Salonga.
Forgotten Island at the North American box office
Deadline reports that DreamWorks Animation is pacing toward a domestic preview haul between $800k and $1 million in North America. Internationally, *Forgotten Island* pulled in $1.5 million in Mexico last weekend. Having rolled out across 3,500 theaters in North America, the movie is projected to secure between $13 million and $15 million during its domestic opening weekend.
Trending
With 31 additional territories launching this weekend, *Forgotten Island* will widen its global reach to 34 markets and anticipates pulling in an extra $10 million globally. Even so, the animated project will not open atop the North American box office chart.
How much does it need to break even at the worldwide box office?
The DreamWorks film was reportedly produced on a budget of $80 million, which counts as a modest figure for an animated feature. Standard industry guidelines dictate that *Forgotten Island* needs to generate $200 million globally to reach its break-even point. This target remains quite manageable for an animated release. Facing no direct competition from other animated movies, the picture is well-positioned to thrive if it connects with viewers.
What is the film about?
The story centers on close companions Jo and Raissa, who find themselves stranded in the magical realm of Nakali. As their memories gradually fade away, the pair must fight to escape before they completely forget one another. *Forgotten Island* is currently playing in theaters.
