Pixar announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter. They “earned $13.2 million or $0.23 per diluted share on revenues of $30.2 million. These results were largely driven by the continuing box office results of Finding Nemo, which achieved a worldwide box office gross of $424 million by the end of the third quarter”. According to Reuters, these “results came near the high end of the range of Wall Street expectations and easily topped the average estimate of 13 cents per share among analysts polled by Reuters Research”, however “third-quarter net income fell to $13.2 million, or 23 cents per share, from $46.9 million, or 87 cents per diluted share, a year earlier, when DVD sales of Monsters, Inc. boosted results”. This weeks DVD release of Finding Nemo has already topped the record sales Monsters, Inc. set last year.
