Wall-E Breaks $500 Million Dollar Mark Worldwide!
Photos
WALL•E has just broken the $500 million dollar mark worldwide. This is due to the late push from Japan, where WALL•E was released December 5th. In 3 months we’ll see just how well this paid off. I’m hoping for a 600+ million dollar run.
In the domestic side, ticket sales have halted for the last few months and WALL•E has apparently finished with a solid $223, 749, 872!
If it gets nominated for Best Picture that might just change… Right now WALL•E is the number one animated movie in terms of box-office (and reviews) in America, and it’s a safe bet it’ll stay that way!
DVD sales are going great, although Disney was a bit worried last week, but I think $153,806,557 is pretty amazing considering it’s the second top selling DVD of the year behind Iron Man.
Domestic: $223,749,872
Foreign: $278,945,725
Total: $502, 695, 597

The popularity of Wall-E is hanging in there as well!
We have had new members joining The Wall-E Builder’s Group daily from around the world!
With nearly 2,500 members now and growing, nearly all joined within the last 6 months!
I believe that Wall-E will have the staying power of some of our most loved characters, right up there with E.T., R2-D2, Johnny 5…hmm, all of whom kind of look alike.
Coincidence? Or are we, as fans, attracted to a certain type of character just as we are actual actors and actresses?
Something to consider.
If you haven’t got your Wall-E DVD yet…get it!
I found it at Walmart, but it was $10 MORE than on Amazon.com!
