Overseas Horse Race

Animation accumulates coin beyond American shores.

... Wreck-It Ralph, Disney’s 3D family animation title, boosted its total foreign take past the $150-million mark ($156.9 million) thanks to a $11.6 million weekend in 59 territories. It has been playing for 11 stanzas on the foreign circuit. Worldwide, the film has grossed $336.3 million. ...

DreamWorks Animation’s Rise of the Guardians grossed $3.9 million at 4,252 venues in 54 markets in its ninth weekend offshore, raising the foreign cume via Paramount to $187.7 million. ..

Guardians has now grossed $98,685,000 stateside, which brings it to a worldwide total of $286,385,000, far below DWA's usual grosses for its features.

DreamWorks Animation's recent batting average has been amazingly high, but even Babe Ruth didn't hit a home run every time he stepped to the plate.

Meanwhile, the animated hybrid Life of Pi has made a worldwide total of $357.4 million.
