I think the folks at the house of mouse will be quite content with <i>Ratatouille&#8217;s<\/i> performance considering it&#8217;s only been in release 10 days and it has outgrossed <i>Meet The Robinson&#8217;s<\/i> domestic gross of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">$96,645,714<\/span>. Currently I can see <i>Ratatouille<\/i> making it into or very near the top 10 films domestic grossing&#8217;s wise this year. And do remember that the film has yet to open in many, many locations around the globe. I do think this film might be a bit of a hit in France just like <i>Finding Nemo<\/i> was in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>And just to give you an idea on how special <i>Ratatouille<\/i> is to Box Office Mojo users, it is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/grades\/?page=usergrades&#038;p=.htm\">currently ranked<\/a> as the 4th highest rated film on the site, after 1. <span class=\"caps\">LOTR<\/span>: Return of the King, 2. <i>Star Wars<\/i> and 3. <i>SW: The Empire Strikes Back<\/i>. <i>The Incredibles<\/i> sits at 11th position. Here is another bit of perspective, <i>The Shawshank Redemption<\/i> only grossed <b>$28,341,469<\/b> domestically during it&#8217;s release in &#8217;94, and it is a film that Andrew Stanton describes as &#8220;perfect&#8221; and it sits at 8th position. Of course I should mention that <i>Ratatouille<\/i> only has 586 votes compared to the 4,5 and 6 thousand votes on other films, so time will only tell where it sits in the ladder.<\/p>\n<p>So please, please, please, do not fret about the box office numbers for <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Ratatouille<\/span>. Leave that to the shareholders and the execs, that is if they are worrying at all. Box office performance has nothing to do with the greatness of a film, and from I keep hearing about <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Ratatouille<\/span>, it&#8217;s near perfection. Can&#8217;t wait to see it! Have a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><p>Time for another box office update.
