The International B.O.

A fish movie sits atop the listings. But a number of fully/partially animated features are racking up big totals.

WEEKEND FOREIGN BOX OFFICE-- (WORLD TOTALS)

Finding Dory -- $50,000,000 -- ($186,200,000)

Warcraft -- $41,240,000 -- ($377,600,000)

X-Men: Apocalypse -- $12,800,000 -- ($364,100,000)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows -- $10,500,000 -- ($142,729,574)

Alice Through the Looking Glass -- $8,000,000 -- ($236,000,000)

Angry Birds -- $6,300,000 -- ($327,690,847)

The Jungle Book -- $6,000,000 -- ($922,400,000)

Zootopia -- $2,600,000 -- ($1,011,961,275) ...

Finding Dory has launched well overseas, though it hasn't yet launched wide.

Will Disney have two back-to-back billion dollar animated features in 2016? Three if you count Jungle Book? (And we do).

Meantime, Angry Birds will clearly be in the black ... if it isn't already ... and Zootopia still have some life in it as it continues to triumph in Japan and finished up in a few smaller markets.

Happily, there is no signs of cannibalism in Cartoonland, but you never know. Any week now, one animated feature will gobble up another animated feature. Isn't that what the trade press tells us?
