The animation directed by Tim Hill debuted in cinemas on August 11, taking in USD 1.74 million in the first weekend, USD 750,000 more than 'Ice Age 2', another Fox animation distributed in China in March. . . . another Disney animation with high box office expectations, "Cars", opened last weekend, taking merely USD 1.35 million... - - - - - Whole story here: <a href="http://animationguildblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/no-accounting-for-taste.html" target="_blank">http://animationguildblog.blog spot.com/2006/09/no-accounting-for-taste.html</a> Clearly this is a disappointment of some kind, but I'd have to say I'm personally more disappointed in China than in Cars. And please note, it's Garfield's third week, Cars's first.
