Overseas Race of the Horses

Woody and Buzz run the joint worldwide, just as they do in Freedom's Land.

Grossing a total of $100 million in overseas boxoffice since it opened offshore a week ago, Pixar/Disney's "Toy Story 3" retained the weekend's No. 1 spot on the foreign theatrical circuit for a second consecutive round with $36.1 million drawn from 6,278 screens in 32 markets.

Worldwide total for the latest in the Pixar franchise amounts to $326.6 million ...

And the DreamWorks contingent also seems to be rolling along nicely.

... Previewing strongly in the U.K., DreamWorks Animation/Paramount's "Shrek Forever After" in 3D drew $3.7 million from 1,281 spots in 21 markets (with the official U.K. opening due this week). Foreign cume stands at $91.5 million. ...

To date, the ogre has collected around $321 million worldwide. As for DWA's other entry:

"How to Train Your Dragon," $262 million ...

Which gives Dragon a worldwide gross of $477.4 million. Not bad at all.

Wait until Toy Story hits here in Japan in two weeks. That number should skyrocket even more. Should be number one here until Studio Ghibli's new film comes in a week later. Good competition.

Toy Story 3 is a near perfect film. Excellent, I am definitely going to see it again and I am not surprised it is dominating the global ticket sales.

Toy Story 2 actually made me cry, and also made me laugh quite a bit more, but TS3 is a worthy successor. Not as good as the first two, but not bad at all.
