Animation on the Summit

As it was domestically, so it goes in lands beyond the seas:

... DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted claimed the No. 1 box office spot on the foreign theatrical circuit by logging a muscular $75.5 million in its opening launch at 10,148 venues in 28 countries.

Distributor Paramount said the second sequel in the Madagascar franchise took the No. 1 spots in “nearly all” of its opening markets with the biggest numbers coming from territories mostly outside continental Europe. ...

Which means that Mad 3 has $136 million in the till after three days of release.

In the meanwhile, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is close to ticking past the century mark in overseas' accumulations, with a worldwide gross of $310 million.
