It’s no surprise then that Nemo’s long-awaited sequel Finding Dory is doing stellar business at the box office just a few days after its US release.
Early estimates state that Finding Dory will haul in an impressive $130 million in its opening weekend alone, Variety reports.
Since its release in 2003, Pixar film Finding Nemo became the highest-grossing U-certificate film of all time, a feat since beaten by the studio’s very own Toy Story 3.
Finding Dory’s box office success would place it as the year’s second-biggest opening behind Captain America: Civil War which pulled in a staggering $179 million – the fifth highest of all time.
