http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/RATATOUILLE-Still-Earning-Overseas.aspx A certain animated rodent is ruling the world of movies, and for once it’s not Mickey. Remy, the CGI rat/chef is still pulling in the cheddar, as Disney’s RATATOUILLE remained No. 1 at the international box office for the fourth straight week, grossing $21.9 million in over thirty markets. RATATOUILLE’S continued success is an impressive considering the film finished premiering to foreign markets some time ago. Countries where it finished first this past week included the U.K., Italy, China, Poland, Switzerland, and Scandinavia. The cumulative gross in Britain rose 3% to $36.3 million amid school holidays, pushing that the U.K. ahead of Japan for second place, behind France’s staggering $60 million bow. In total the film has earned a whopping $346.8 million in overseas markets, (which is more than even Disney could’ve dreamt of,) brining its worldwide gross to $552 million, or as I like to call it, “a lot of cheese.” The film is paced to become the fifth film of 2007 to earn $400 million overseas, along with PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3, SPIDERMAN 3, HARRY POTTER 5 and SHREK 3. Interestingly enough, RATATOUILLE would be the only non-sequel on that list. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/RATATOUILLE-Still-Earning-Overseas.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/RATATOUILLE-Still-Earning-Overseas.aspx#2040 this looks so cute cant wait to see it:) tinkluvspan http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/RATATOUILLE-Still-Earning-Overseas.aspx#2040 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 18:29:50 GMT
