Dory has taken in US$396.9 million globally in 10 days of its release and has yet to open in Germany, Italy, the UK, Korea, Japan, Brazil and Mexico, Disney said in a statement. The film collected 2.79 Crores gross, thus taking its total to 13.46 Cr (gross) at the India box office. An opening that small would be a disaster for Warners as the film reportedly cost the studio and its financing partners around $180 million before marketing costs.
The sequel to Finding Nemo posted estimated weekend sales of US$73.2 million (RM299.68 million) in USA and Canadian cinemas, researcher ComScore Inc said today in an emailed statement.
