According to trade publications Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, "LEGO: The Movie" surpassed $200 million in global box office receipts Wednesday, including $146.3 million in the U.S.
The website Box Office Mojo said the first weekend take of more than $69 million ranks second all-time for a film released in February, behind only "The Passion of the Christ," at $83.8 million. The film also ranks having one of the top release weekends ever for an original animated film -- one that's not a sequel or prequel.
