The Last Guest

The Last Guest is a 2019 computer-animated action film based off of the video game platform Roblox. It was originated from a concept by YouTuber ObliviousHD and was animated and made by a small team of workers. After Roblox began a film division, titled Roblox Features, the studio bought rights to the finished product for $2 million, and an extra $3 million was added onto the budget to raise the animation quality.

Released on February 1, 2019, the film received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the story, plot, and voice acting, although some praised the animation. The film was also a box office bomb, only grossing $16 million against a budget of $5 million, losing the studio nearly $15 million.

In its second weekend, the film grossed $1 million, dropping down to 15th.
