^^^

after this weekend, it'd be estimated for a total of $290 million. So about two more good, full weeks would do it...

As of last weekend:

Finding Nemo: $315 million
Pirates of the Caribbean: $176 million

FN is inching closer to the Lion King, while PotC continues to be a huge surprise.

Disney has two of the highest-grossing and best-reviewed films of the summer.

Anyhow, with Spy Kids 3-D and Freaky Friday presenting competition in the weeks ahead, plus the DVD announcement, Nemo is starting to slow. It will still probably pass Lion King's $328 million by the end of August.

Another $2.5 million for FN this past week.
It has to be about even with The Lion King now.

What an amazing result for Pixar and Disney...I thought it would do well but never imagined it was capable of putting up the numbers it has and continues to.

Eh, a little less than $4 million short. I'd guess by Friday, it will be ahead.

Not considering inflation, of course. ;)
