Ratatouille B.O. (01/07/07)

News Pixar Ratatouille

Well the first estimate for opening day box office grossings for Ratatouille is in at Box Office Mojo. The film opened in 3940 theatres across the US and brought in an estimated $16,600,000 on Friday. This puts Ratatouille in 5th position for opening day grossings out of all Pixar films.

I don’t know about you, but I think word of mouth will help Ratatouille become the sleeper hit of the summer. I know I have been complaining a lot about Disney not giving Ratatouille a world wide release date, but I do think it is all for the best (even though it sucks having to wait), considering that Finding Nemo for example, came out in August in Australia and it went on to be the highest grossing film from Pixar. Now cue Jim Hill and his little Disney execs complaining about how Ratatouille is going to underperform and was the merger really worth it.
