Audiences are even being physically affected by the horror film.

The Post reported that the movie’s distributor wrote on X on Oct. 3 that one theater “reported 11 people walking out and 1 person vomiting” during a pre-screening.

“The Wild Robot” held firm in second on its third Friday in theaters, with a $3.82 million take.

Last weekend, the sci-fi adventure surpassed the $100 million mark in worldwide earnings, and its filmmaker Chris Sanders already confirmed there’s a sequel in the works, as per Deadline.
