Ratatouille Continues To Do Well Internationally

It may not be a monster hit here in the US, but Ratatouille continues to do exceptionally well overseas.

Disney's "Ratatouille" cooked up $15.4 million at 3,483 in 30 markets, led by a tasty $7.1 million in France in a third frame in which it declined just 19%. The Paris-set toon dominated French biz as it outgrossed the next three pics and moved its territorial total to $34.7 million.

"Ratatouille" declined only 27% in holdover markets, and its $1 million Portuguese launch was the second best after that of "Shrek the Third." The comedy's performing in line with previous Pixar pics, already cuming nearly $150 million with half the major markets still to launch.


That's astounding, especially when it is still yet to open in many major markets. I just hope those in power at Disney realizes that this movie is no where near to be even considered a failure, certainly not with that kind of reviews.

Zz.
