That's not the whole story though. What these movies have in common is they're not too complicated. And that means they can travel 'round the world easily.

Here are the numbers for Wall-E

Domestic: $223,808,164 42.9% + Foreign: $297,460,073 57.1%

= Worldwide: $521,268,237

and for Casino Royale

Domestic: $167,445,960 28.2% + Foreign: $426,793,106 71.8%

= Worldwide: $594,239,066
