Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has been a critical and commercial success for Dreamworks, despite taking years to get out of devolvement hell the sequel to the 2011 Puss in Boots proved it was worth the wait.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’s success helps fast track ‘Shrek 5’ production
Backed by strong word-of-mouth, an intelligent marketing campaign by distributor NBCUniversal, and awards season buzz, Dreamwork’s latest now sits at $112M domestically. Its global total (including domestic) is $253M. The Last Wish is the fourth animated feature to cross the $100 million benchmark in North America since the start of the pandemic. The others are fellow Universal releases Minions: The Rise of Gru ($369.7 million) and Sing 2 ($162.8 million), as well as the Disney-Pixar production Lightyear ($118.3 million).
It’s easy to imagine a scenario where PiB continues to flourish and could push even farther up the list. There is little competition on the horizon in the kids and family space, and the major studios currently have no plans to release an animated feature in the first quarter of 2023. In fact, the next major studio animation release is Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie in April. Further, PiB still hasn’t opened in the U.K., which will likely provide another box office boost when it hits theaters there on February 3.

So if you were on the fence about seeing Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, maybe this anime tie-in will convince you to get a ticket!
