Fine Tuning with Jim Hill and Drew Taylor.

Drew, we got, what, five minutes before you have to head out for your next junket?

I mean, it's crazy, Jim. The summer movie season is in full swing, and I'm swinging to

this week, Incredibles has pulled in $516.2 million domestic, which makes it the top grossing animated

film of all time, but at least domestically, right? Yeah, not adjusted for inflation. It'll be

That made 261.4 million domestic. So the sequel, 14 years later, has doubled the domestic take or damn near.

We're overseas, it made 371.5 million. So if you follow that

pattern, that it does roughly one in a third of the business, it's looking like

Incredibles could potentially surpass Pixar's other biggest worldwide hits.

And that was Finding Dory, which was $1.20 million.
