Finding Dory Becomes Highest Grossing Animated Movie Of All Time At Domestic Box Office

After pulling in another $11 million at the North American box office this past weekend, pushing its domestic total to $445.5 million, Finding Dory has become the highest grossing animated release of all-time domestically. The Disney film dethroned Shrek 2, which had set the record in 2004 with $441.2 million.

Also, some time this week, Finding Dory should crack the top-ten list of the all-time highest grossing films at the domestic box office. It currently sits in eleventh-place, but will surpass Christopher Nolan's 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises ($448.1 million) when it grosses another $3 million.

Meanwhile, Finding Dory now has a global total of $721.7 million, and that number will continue to rise as it just opened this past weekend in Japan, Mexico, and Hong Kong. Plus, it still has made its debut yet in the U.K., Italy, and Germany.
