“Finding Dory” crosses $1b

After opening this past June, “Finding Dory” finally crossed the $1 billion worldwide box office mark this weekend. The movie has grossed $485 million domestically and $517 million internationally to reach the landmark. It becomes Pixar's second movie to gross $1 billion worldwide (the first being “Toy Story 3”), Disney's fourth billion-dollar movie in the past 12 months, and its 12th ever. It's also the fifth biggest animated film of all time (behind “Frozen”, “Minions”, “Toy Story 3” and Zootopia).

Finding Dory” is currently the highest-grossing domestic release of the year, and it may very well keep that record. Its only serious competition for the crown is “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”.
