The Dixney-Pixar film “Cars” passed the $300 million mark in worldwide box-office grosses during the weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.
The worldwide take probably will send total grosses toward the $400 million mark because many European countries just opened the film in the past week or so.
“Cars” is the No. 3 film in North America this year with $220 million in grosses, and it has an outside shot at overtaking “X-Men: The Last Stand,” which has $232 million in grosses. Roaring to the No. 1 spot is “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” at $258 million after just two weeks.
