Laika‘s stop-motion movie “Wildwood” has topped $60 million worldwide.

After a sluggish start, the fantasy epic directed by Travis Knight has now amassed a box office of $41.86 million in the U.S. and Canada and $19.06 million across 49 international territories.

The milestone follows a strong third weekend in North America, where “Wildwood” grossed $7.21 million, declining 20% from the previous weekend despite a 13% reduction in its theatrical footprint, ranking as the number 2 holdover. Despite the solid hold, the total figure is still some way short of the film’s reported $100 million budget.

“We’ve seen a resounding response from global audiences to Laika’s spectacular and unique world of Wildwood,” said founder and CEO of FilmNation Entertainment Glen Basner. “With more countries still to release, we know the enthusiasm for this extraordinary film, and the studio’s unmatched artistry, will continue to grow.”
