I know that for Cars 2 at least, Pixar made over a billion from merchandising alone so the actual movie's gross was not a concern. I wonder if it's the same with cars 3 because while it's too early to say for sure, but isn't that a low box office number when a month has passed. Since most movies get all the returns from the very first few weeks. <cite>xyphilia posted [p:883576359] in Well huh. ...
