## Summary

Laika’s stop-motion fantasy film *Wildwood* has earned strong reviews but is struggling at the box office, raising doubts about whether it can recoup its reported $100 million budget. Its performance highlights the challenge facing original animated films as major franchise releases dominate cinema audiences.

The film took 22% less in ticket sales last weekend, earning $7 million in North America and bringing its worldwide total to $47.5 million. Directed by Travis Knight, it stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee as a girl searching for her kidnapped brother, alongside a voice cast including Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan and Mahershala Ali.
