and Tangled is only playing in 55% of overseas markets. It will probably pass $600 million worldwide. It has the UK, Spain, Scandinavia, Japan, South Africa and South Korea left to open in.
but omg the budget is huge!!! (just thought I'd throw it in there because it is freaking inevitable that someone does)
Absolutely right, Anon. No matter how much it makes, it CAN'T break even, because it cost a gazillion dollars to make.
I know this because I broke into Robert Iger's personal papers and found out.
It just need 520 million to break even.
And Tangled still hasnt open in half of the international market yet, so it will surpass the number.
Actually I think it needs to make a billon dollars to break even.
Please, keep kidding yourself
Tangled is playing in far more than 55% of the foreign markets. You silly fanboys can't keep using the 55% number week after week. It just makes you look stupid.

There is no need for name calling, man. Go get some anger therapy.
I'll do that when you go get a clue.
You dont even have one Mr Know-It-All
From today's Box Office Mojo international update:
"Playing in just 55 percent of the foreign markets, Tangled has thus far earned $212.5 million for a worldwide (domestic plus foreign) total of $393.5 million. It will easily pass $400 million worldwide this weekend before opening in the United Kingdom and South Africa on Jan. 28."
My Gosh, look, still 55%??!?! I guess Disney is opting for a slow international rolled out release as THEY ALWAYS DO.
that's probably why the 55% number has been thrown around for the past two weeks, because it hasn't opened in many new markets.
Great article...As Steve said, vfx has had a history of artist-driven companies rising from the ashes. Esc came from Manex, claiming they didn'y need managers. Orphanage came from ILM. The ambition of these companies were crushed by the realities of running the flawed business of vfx.
