Cars Box Office Comparison

Box Office Mojo has a really interesting set of stats being updated daily over at their website that show exactly how Cars is doing compared to Pixar's other films.

Check it out here!



So don't cry for Pixar at all on this one, folks. The film, which is great by the way, is holding it's own just fine against their previous releases. While it's certainly off the pace set by "Finding Nemo," or "The Incredibles," it has still managed to haul in $156 million. Add to that the fact that the film reportedly cost around 70 million to make and it's easy to see that this one is going to rake in plenty of money.

If you ask me, this is as it should be: A quality film making a boatload of money.

EDIT: So according to Box Office Mojo, "Cars" had a production budget of $120 million, yet The Numbers website has it listed at $70 million.

If the production cost was in fact $120 million, that will obviously make a big difference in profit since, according to Box Office Mojo, "The Incredibles" cost $92 million and "Nemo" cost $94 million.

Either way, "Cars" is still considered a massive hit, but it's always interesting to see how the numbers shake out.
