PussInBoots: TheLastWish continues to claw through box office milestones, now surpassing $200 million worldwide for DreamWorks.
DreamWorks keeps raking in the cash with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as the new year gets into full swing. In this first week of 2023, the beloved sequel has now crossed $200 million at the global box office, becoming one of the animation studio's biggest films yet and one of the best-performing animation films since the pandemic began.
Over the weekend, The Last Wish became one of just ten animated films to cross the $100 million mark internationally in the pandemic era. It currently sits with an overseas mark of $112 million, surpassing Disney's Lightyear in the process. This lands the film as the eighth highest-grossing MPA animation in the pandemic era and the third highest-grossing of DreamWorks' catalog, falling behind The Bad Guys and The Croods: A New Age.

At this point in its life cycle, it's ahead of the massively popular Sing 2 without factoring in China, and it even passed the lifetime gross of the Illumination sequel in 12 markets.
The love for Puss in Boots' return has been near-universal with a critic score of 96% and an audience score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nate Richard gave the film an A- in his review for Collider, saying "It is not only one of the best animated films of the year, but it's one of DreamWorks' best, and one that will strike a chord with moviegoers of all ages. It's equal parts exciting and hilarious as well as earnest, it never feels like it is talking down to anyone.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is still in theaters for anyone who hasn't yet seen the feline's beloved new adventure. Check out the trailer below.
