Migrationcontinues its favorable box office run, with the latest movie fromIllumination Entertainmentearning $150 million at the worldwide box office. While the number might sound modest based on a first impression, when considering how the movie’s budgetreportedly consisted of $72 million,Migrationis slowly becoming a solid investment for the studio.

The mallards have also performed well in Germany, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Mexico and Spain, withMigration’s international total continuing to grow. The boost that allowedMigrationto cross the $150 million mark happened due to families going to the movies together during the winter break, allowing the animated adventure to pick up the pace at the box office.

While Mack is nervous about heading out to explore what’s beyond their home, Pam is excited about the idea, with the group deciding that they’ll look for a new life for themselves in Jamaica. Unfortunately, they get lost on their flight,arriving in New York City instead. The family has to survive the chaos of a big city while getting to know a reality very different from their own, in a story about how their true home resides in their love for one another.
