Toonage in Foreign Lands
The congloms are well pleased with animation. And why not?
Disney scored a one-two punch at the foreign box office with "Up" and "Surrogates" combining for over 24ドル million during a typically moderate autumn session on Sept. 25-27.
... With domestic cume having hit 292ドル million, the worldwide total for "Up" has gone to 507ドル million, moving it into the company of 66 other pics that have topped half a billion dollars in combined international and domestic grosses ...
Fox reached the [one billion] mark first in early July in the wake of opening "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" and had hit 1ドル.69 billion as of the end of the third quarter -- having already exceeded its 2008 total of 1ドル.6 billion -- with the third "Ice Age" contributing a stunning 682ドル million.
"Ice Age 3" was still generating biz in the final fall frame with 2ドル.4 million, mostly from its fifth Italian session of 1ドル.4 million for an Italo cume of 41ドル million ...
The conglomerates are going to be pursuing the animation gambit for the foreseeable future. When you get a string of animated movies collecting 500ドル .... 600ドル ... 700ドル+ billion in box office receipts, you know you're onto something. And want to keep doing it.
Even Bolt, hardly a barn burner, has sniffed up 314ドル million around the world. So yeah, a lot more toonage will be getting produced.
