Hoewel Finding Dory onwijs leuk is, waren er toch een hoop mensen die niet zo heel erg blij waren met dit vervolg op Finding Nemo. Maar de cijfers van de opbrengsten spreken voor zichzelf, want dit weekeinde werd bekend dat de film door de één miljard Dollar grens wereldwijd is gegaan en dat is natuurlijk heel erg goed nieuws voor Disney en Pixar. De film zelf is overigens vanaf 16 november via VOD en fysieke media als DVD en Blu-ray verkrijgbaar.

After opening this past June, Finding Dory finally crossed the $1 billion worldwide box office mark this weekend. The movie has grossed $485 million domestically and $517 million internationally for a total of $1,001.5 million worldwide. It becomes Pixar's second movie to gross $1 billion worldwide (the first being Toy Story 3, which made $1,067 million worldwide), Disney's fourth billion-dollar movie in the past 12 months, and its 12th ever. It's also the fifth biggest animated film of all time (Its currently behind Frozen, Minions, Toy Story 3, and Zootopia).

Finding Dory is currently the highest-grossing domestic release of the year, and it may very well keep that record. Its only serious competition for the crown is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and I don't see either of those outgrossing Dory because even though one is a Harry Potter spin-off and the other is a Star Wars spin-off, that's their issue: they're spin-offs. I don't think they're going to make more than a bona fide sequel, especially one that has the built-in love that Dory had.
