Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaur imprints box-office history anew as it is now the highest grossing animated film of all-time in the Philippines at a whopping P114 million in its sixth week of release since it opened last July 3, 2009. The gregarious group of Manny, Sid and Diego nudged Kung Fu Panda's (P113 million) rank from top spot to no. 2.
Mr. Francis Soliven, general manager of Warner Bros., distributor of 20th Century Fox's Ice Age 3 further states that with the recent record-breaking box-office accumulated receipt of P 114,112,489, the film has now become the biggest franchise for an animated film all-time. With Ice Age 3's gross plus the previous Ice Age: The Meltdown at P93 million and the first Ice Age at P38 million, the franchise now comes at P246 million as of August 9 budging Shrek's previous record of P202 million.
Still showing in selected theaters, Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has everything audiences loved about the first two films, adding even more comedy, action, spectacular visuals—plus the movie magic of 3-D. Our beloved heroes live on, with some memorable new characters thrown into the Ice Age mix.
