Inc. has expanded from 3,237 theaters to 3,269 theaters. In its first

million. By late next week it could enter the Top
10 Animated Films of All Time list, bumping off 101 Dalmations,
which currently resides at #10 with a final box office tally of $144.8
million. Prior to Monsters, Inc., Shrek had been the quickest to
reach the top 10 list, doing so in only 17 days and eventually moving

CineGroupe is located
