The International Accumulations

The totals show that animation (n all its forms) is booming right along.

Foreign Box Office -- (World Totals)

Monster Hunt -- $72,000,000 -- ($99,000,000)

Minions -- $66,200,000 -- ($625,836,415)

Ant Man -- $56,000,000 -- $114,440,000)

Inside Out -- $21,300,000 -- ($490,162,966)

Monkey King: Hero Is Back -- $22,500,000 -- ($70,000,000)

Terminator Genisys -- $22,200,000 -- ($277,440,125)

Jurassic World -- $12,300,000 -- ($1,513,435,300)

Ted 2 -- $7,500,000 -- ($143,438,350)

SO what is Monster Hunt, which much of American hasn't heard of, pulling down $72 million? Simple. It's a Chinese hybrid feature that's done boffo box office in the Middle Kingdom's home market (ditto for the animated Monkey King).

In the meantime, Illumination Entertainment's Minions continues to vacuum up cash around the globe, and Terminator Genisys and Jurassic World continue to do large business in overseas markets.
