As you can see, I’m running out of clever Up-themed titles for the box office posts…
Anyhow, this weekend is starting off well. Even though Up ranked at #4 (behind The Proposal, Year One and The Hangover in that order) this Friday it still raked in an estimated $6,100,000! That’s an impressive number for Pixar’s fourth weekend because it’s right on track with what Finding Nemo brought in on the same day of release. It’s of note that Nemo was released on May 30th, 2003.
Let’s recap this past week’s many big accomplishments! Up out grossed Toy Story domestically, became the second highest grossing movie of the year, broke through the $200 million dollar mark and more!
Up is on track for yet another successful and record breaking week! For example, Friday it broke through Ratatouille‘s domestic take, let’s just hope it performs as well internationally as the aforementioned film did! The critically acclaimed movie also has the chance to fly above WALL•E this weekend, but it’s more likely to do so some time during the upcoming week.
I think it’s outstanding how quickly Up is breaking through all of these prestigious and hard to reach marks. Check out this graphic to get a better idea of what I’m talking about.
The Up team must be VERY proud. Full weekend estimates and/or totals coming very soon!
