The Big Cartoon DataBase reports that, in its fifth week, Shrek 2 has overtaken Mel Gibson’s The Passion Of The Christ to become this year’s biggest film, also beating The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King for sixth place on the domestic top ten list. And with almost $380 million in DreamWorks’ coffers, the jolly green ogre looks like he’ll climb one spot higher by the end of his run and be the one to take on Spider-Man‘s $403.7m placing.

In related box-office news, Fox’s Garfield is proving to be no slouch himself, taking in a healthy $11 million in its second week for a $42m total, and easily outpacing Disney’s Around The World In 80 Days remake which, although a new release, barely managed a $6.8m opening for a pretty dismal number nine ranking $9.6m weekend take.
