About Planet51 BoxOffice Tracking

About the Idea


The release of the Planet 51 is almost here, Nov 20th 2009. I'm interested in the box office of this movie so I decided to create some charts to to see the evolution of the box office in a visual way.

To track Planet 51 US Box Office I've gathered some information from boxofficemojo and I've done some charts to compare Planet 51 against other animation movies. For this purpose I've chosen 3 groups:

Sony Top 5: The top 5 animation movies with the best US box office distributed by Sony
1. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
2. Open Season
3. Monster House
4. Surf's Up
5. Final Fantasy

Top 5: The top 5 animation movies with the best US box office
1. Shrek 2
2. Finding Nemo
3. Shrek The Third
4. Up
5. Shrek

Top 5 Nov: The top 5 animation movies released in November
1. The Incredibles
2. Monsters Inc
3. Toy Story 2
4. Happy Feet
5. Polar Express
