Smurfs Wow that's a huge amount of sales, they must be doing great.


well, it's not a huge amour, because it was released at the start of 2012.


Well they are a very small company and $35 x 2.5 million is $87.5 million.


So, what they actually got to keep is probably around $50 million with the rest going to salaries, investors, and production costs.


I will be happy with $50 million hell I will be happy with 1 Million.
