The critically-acclaimed Finding Dory has now officially passed the $400 million milestone at the domestic box office with $402.2 million. This makes it the second film of 2016 to accomplish that milestone, after Captain America: Civil War. That also makes Finding Dory the highest grossing animated film in domestic box office history, just after Shrek 2The Lion King, and Toy Story 3. It is expected to pass all of those films by next week. Finding Dory will also pass Captain America: Civil War later on today. Box office experts say that Finding Dory will finish with over $500 million and maybe even pass The Dark Knight

Overseas, Finding Dory has made $194.8 million, which puts it at a worldwide total of $597 million. Its foreign totals may seem average, but keep in mind that the film has yet to open in several major box office markets, including Japan and United Kingdom. Finding Dory is expected to hit $1 billion.

"Finding Dory is expected to hit $1 billion."

Care to cite a source for that?

I liked the movie, but that seems more like personal estimate

Nice job, Disney. This has been a pretty good year even if there were some bombs. It's a shame BFG had to bomb, even if I did see that coming.

Great movie. Best movie I have seen all year. A lot of heart was put into this.

I have to say that I don't think I'm going to add to those BO numbers once the movie opens around here. Gotta admit though that I actually never watched all of Finding Nemo so far. Been meaning to, but somehow didn't do it.

Then again there was already the extremely pleasant surprise that was Zootopia, so I'm good anyways. I will give The BFG a chance when it gets here, shame it doesn't seem to do well. One of my favourite books as a kid.

WOW!!

Who would have thought a film about a retarded fish will domestically outgross both Batman v Superman and Civil War....

I didn't enjoy Finding Nemo, although the bird scene where thye all shout 'mine mine mine mine mine' is one of the funniest is Disney/Pixar history.
