That's just even more good news after watching like crap movies like Ice Age make more money than Pixar's Up I just felt awfull that why didn't people went to see Pixar's Up it's way better than Ice Age but it should make at least 600 millions dollars if it doesn't touches Ice Age marks of 876 million dollars.
