Not when they reportedly spent a whole lot of money on a huge marketing push.
Remember, studios only take a part of the US box office and a much smaller share from the worlwide revenue. If you do the math it doesn't seem so good.

The Angry Birds movie actually did pretty good at the box office considering it was a sub par movie overall. So far it still made more money overseas then Finding Dory did. Also its still Sony/Columbia biggest hit so far this year and since I'm hoping that Ghostbusters will bomb it will be their biggest hit of the year since they really have nothing else worth metioning the rest of the year. |
By 10 millions more or less, but Angry Birds has almost completed its run while Dory is yet to open in many overseas countries.
