Mulan is doing 50% better box office than recent Disney animated features. Bought more today @$105. ...Disney, its animated film "Mulan" continued to perform well above expectations. For the three-day holiday weekend, "Mulan" took in an estimated $11.6 million and has so far grossed more than $77 million domestically. It appears to be headed for a final U.S. tally of between $140 million and $150 million, far above Disney's past two animated films, 1997's "Hercules" and 1996's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." That is important, because Disney's annual animated-film offering is crucial to the company's bottom line. Analysts estimate the animated movies ultimately generate profits equivalent to about four times their domestic box-office take, because of Disney's ability to make money with them in home video, consumer products and its theme parks. interactive.wsj.com
