The foreign derby race, in a nutshell:
Up -- $11.6 million generated from 3,579 locations in 27 territories, pushing overseas cume to $231.2 million.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs -- rained $6.8 million from 1,933 locations in 31 markets, pushing overseas cume to $21.6 million.
G-Force -- muscled its way past the $100 million mark overseas ($100.8 million) on the back of a $5.7 million weekend at 2,221 sites in 36 markets
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs -- $684 million
9 -- $16.1 million
The congloms are now clued to animation's commercial possibilities. Sadly, the Mainstream Media too often treats cartoons as the bastard step children of the entertainment world, but we'll just keep pummeling away until attitudes change.

I realize this is EXTREMELY petty and it's totally off-topic, but could you PLEASE stop using the word "toon"?
Every cartoonist and animator I know hates that term.
I realize you are a writer and are therefor removed from how real cartoonists and animators feel about their craft, so I don't hold it against you for using it all the time, but it's become really annoying.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Ah, so you're not just hypersensitive, you're a douche. Have a nice day yourself.
Well, he didnt say it very nicely, but I agree. I prefer "animated film"
Besides, I always associated the term "cartoon" with television, but that might be incorrect.
When I was young the term Cartoon bothered me too...don't care anymore.
They won't either once they grow up...
Keep using it - most of the pros that have been in the biz more than 5 years don't mind "toon"
I can't read chinese!

Man! He sure ripped Rufus a new one...

Strange. Many I know could give a shit.

Oooh. Snap!
Again I apologize, but once more I can't allow the vile accusations up above to stand.
Just because China owns a trillion dollars of U.S. Treasuries, they have no right to question our national virility on an Animation forum.
