Box Office News Ratatouille

Around July 1 this year, Ratatouille had just opened in the US and had grossed around $47.2 million.

"What a horrible, horrible disappointment," said Fred Pessimisto, a major financial industry guy. "What can you buy with $47 million these days? Diddly and squat, that’s what. They need to just pull this clunker out of theaters and make room for something that can do the job."

says DisneyLies. Oh, how the analysts couldn’t have been more wrong. They were so very terribly wrong, I bet they are all kicking themselves right now. It gives me great pleasure to bring this piece news to you.

"Ratatouille" continued to feast at the international box office, cooking up its fifth straight weekend victory with $14.5 million at 4,381 playdates in 29 markets.

reports Variety. It has now grossed $371.8 million in the non-US box office and $577 million worldwide. Can it earn $55 million more to surpass the worldwide box office of The Incredibles? I hope so!

I bet Wall Street are very disappointed with how our favourite Rat has performed this year.
