Variety reports that Ratatouille has scurried past previous records as it set a new record in box office performance in the land of the French, France.
Taking in nearly $16 million through 1,951,074 ticket sales on 721 prints, the average of 2,706 viewers per screen is the highest-ever bow for a cartoon.
says the article. Great success for Ratatouille in France is bound to happen, with the French eager to see an animated Pixar film featuring their beloved capital city. This is similar to the way Australians reacted to Finding Nemo back in 2003, which features Sydney. Read the full report here. Thanks goes to Jayn for pointing out the article.

Very good to see the audience outside America embracing this film. I think it will do a lot better outside the US because of it’s non-US orientation.
