Animated Features' Running Totals

Always good to know how audiences and the world marketplace are liking the current batch of long-form cartoons. As of tonight:

RUNNING TOTALS -- DOMESTIC -- (GLOBAL)

Sing -- $257,405,085 -- ($463,705,085)

Moana -- $240,115,596 -- ($530,115,596)

Trolls -- $152,737,834 -- ($338,247,563)

Trolls has been out thirteen weeks and owns a solid domestic run. A dozen years ago, DreamWorks features regularly topped $200 million in domestic grosses. But then the box office blahs set in, and DWA features were lucky to nose past $100 million. So $152.7 million? Pretty damn good.

Moana turns out to be Musker's and Clements' strongest entry in years, and will likely close in on $600 million before the movie's theatrical run is over. Meantime, Sing has leap-frogged past the island princess after six weeks of distribution, and proves to be yet another winner for Illumination Entertainment.
