Finding Nemo 3D has been playing in North American theaters for two weekends now, and it sure looks like the classic animated film has brought a couple people out to see it.
On its opening weekend, Nemo 3D grossed $16.7 million, and nabbed the No. 2 spot at the box office for that weekend, behind Resident Evil: Retribution. That was in North America; it earned $5.1 million in a total of seven different foreign markets. It has had the weakest opening for a 3D re-release this year, however. This weekend, it landed in the No. 4 spot with $9.6 million.
Hopefully Nemo manages to gross a little more during its brief return to theaters before it finally arrives on Blu-ray.
I think "Finding Nemo" 3D made significantly less than "The Lion King" 3D is because it's always been available on home media, whereas "The Lion King" has been in the vault since 2005 or so. Anyways, I hope it makes around the same amount as "Beauty and the Beast" 3D or more. I originally though it would make around 50-60M.
