Features Keep Harvesting Cash

So there are three animated features out in the world market place, all three doing good to great business at the box office.

The entry with the longest run is Trolls, the DreamWorks Animation musical under the baton of Justin Timberlake. To date, it's taken in $333,179,715 ($151,277,527 domestic) and will likely nose into profits before all its distribution platforms have been exhausted.

Disney's Moana has been out since Thanksgiving, so far grossing a total of $450,094,182, half from the U.S. of A. and half from everywhere else. The picture will likely climb to $600+ million before its out of release.

Finally there is Sing, the latest from Illumination Entertainment, which arrived at Christmas and to date has $356,873,315 in the till. Sixty percent ($213,373,315) of its world gross comes from the United States and Canada.

No doubt about it. We're seeing serious cannibalization. (Not).
