PatrickvD Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Should have seen that coming for Ted in Japan. The character's design is something Japan goes nuts over. I'm more and more convinced Wreck-It Ralph is going to break out, due to Bowser and Sonic.But that is awesome for Ted... So Ted 2 over $700 million worldwide? I say it's possible.
