Buena Vista International continued its billion-dollar box office streak for an unprecedented ninth consecutive year. Driving its record-setting performance was a thematically balanced slate of films that appealed to a broad variety of audiences, with the top four performers being Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Finding Nemo, Bruce Almighty and The Jungle Book 2.

Pirates of the Caribbean surpassed $340 million in international box office, making it the highest grossing live action title ever released internationally under the Walt Disney Pictures label. The Disney/Pixar release Finding Nemo has become the most successful animated title in multiple countries, surpassing The Lion King.

Acquired for international distribution, Bruce Almighty set opening weekend records around the globe and generated more than $200 million to become Buena Vista International’s highest grossing acquisition to date. The Jungle Book 2 introduced Mowgli, Baloo and the rest of the classic Jungle Book characters to a new generation of moviegoers while grossing nearly $90 million at the international box office.
