It seems as though
Finding Dory just kept swimming until it reached the top! This past Friday the Disney/Pixar film earned an additional
$6.283 million bringing its domestic total to
$408.5 million. That was just enough for it to surpass
Captain America: Civil War's domestic cume which is $406.2m.
Finding Dory is expected to bring in another $20 million over the weekend, raising its domestic total to $422.2m. If these numbers turn out to be true, the
Finding Nemo sequel will have a higher domestic total than every other animated film, except
The Lion King ($422.7m) and
Shrek 2 ($441m).
Even though
Finding Dory is now the highest domestic film of 2016, it still has a long way to go if it wants to beat
Captain America: Civil War's lifetime gross ($1.150 billion). With the animated sequel currently sitting at $603 million worldwide, it is more likely to pass
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's worldwide total ($872 million), before its run comes to an end. Even so, I wouldn't count the blue tang fish out of it just yet! What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
