Where was the production for 'Lorax' actually done? In the US? France?
The budget is supposedly $70 million, and it opened at $70.7 million--biggest opening for ANY movie this year.
Can't wait till John Carter burns up the box office! (sarcasm.)
The Lorax was mostly produced in Paris at IE's newly acquired Mac Guff studios.
Some boarding and storywork were done here.
In your reports on the foreign box office performance for animated films you keep neglecting to mention that the worldwide box office take for Arrietty is currently at $143,121,108 . The production budget was equivalent to $23 million U.S.
