The environmentally conscious and almost dialogue-free androids-in-love movie could have alienated audiences and lost millions of dollars at the box office. The storyline was last attempted in the 1981 Andy Kaufman film Heartbeeps, to financially ruinous effect for the film’s backers. While he’s there, he meets another robot and the two fall in love. An animated film set 700 years in the future, it depicts a maintenance robot left behind to clean up a Planet Earth that’s been rendered uninhabitable by the waste and pollution of the human beings who have deserted it. Domestic gross (adjusted): $230 million Domestic gross (actual): $224 million Distributor: Buena Vista 2008’s Wall-E could easily have been a very expensive disaster.
