I think Dory will pass Zoo. It does need only $20M more - and it could do that in Germany alone. But we'll se.

I really hope it doesn't. Zoo is BY FAR a superior movie.

It may be superior but I don't think it is far superior, in fact I think Dory is a great achievement for Pixar for picking a unique angle to tell a story That was not begging to happen.

I do appreciate Zootopia's box office run more though, over 1B WW for an original animation is just great.

Don't forget that zootopia's 1bn was mainly boosted by powerhouse performance in China where it made 250+.. If it were normal blockbuster like 70-80 it would made similar total like IO

Not taking anything away from zoo to piano.. It is the best animation mv this yr a.. It's run is well deserved

Kubo is better.And $1B is TOO much for  Zootopia.

Pixar needs to hire the marketing team from Illumination, so they can make $1.5 to 2 billion per film worldwide.

 

Highly doubtful.  The general audience just really love Illumination animated features...I would say unconditionally, unlike Pixar movies.  This may and probably will change, sooner or later, but that's how things have been.

While I agree that it wasn't begging to happen and Pixar did a good job of it, I think the basic concept of finding out what happened to Dory is a pretty obvious one.  For contrast, WDAS will need a hell of a lot more luck trying to find a suitable story concept for Frozen 2.  I would be amazed if they could make anything decent of that, and I bet they would be, too.  My advice: they should keep putting it off for as long as possible, as they have been, and then maybe Iger's eventual successor could be convinced to let it go.  I'm not kidding.

On the other hand, scoring so big in certain individual markets, especially since they're foreign, is an impressive achievement in itself, so at the very least it's a wash, in my view.  Therefore I simply go with the total instead of excluding specific markets.

So glad about Dory reaching $1B, Disney rocks :D

 

Well, Disney bought the right studios (Pixar in this case, plus Lucasfilm and Marvel, of course), anyway.

I hope it does. I'll win some points in Box Office Casino if that happens. :)

 

It is really on the edge of happening/not happening is it? It'd be interesting to see, I don't mind it either way, obviously even if Dory surpasses Zootopia by a little WW, Zootopia is still the more unexpected smashing hit, the ultimate success story. Dory I was predicting 1.2 Billion, so a bit underwhelming but at least still successful in the year packed with sequel/reboot flops:)

Nothing is guaranteed to gross 1 billion WW.  I don't care if it's a sequel to Avatar or Titanic.  Nothing is a sure bet, so when it happens, it's still a monster achievement!!! Just look at IO and Pets.  2 movies that had great runs, surpassed expectations, and neither are even remotely close to reaching 1 billion.  DM 2 couldn't reach the mark. It's still a BIG deal!!
