What was the worldwide box-office gross of the 2005 animated film Madagascar?

The 2005 animated film Madagascar earned $556.6 million worldwide at the box office.

DreamWorks Animation released Madagascar in 2005 as an original comedy about four Central Park Zoo animals stranded on the island of Madagascar. Its commercial performance helped establish the property as one of DreamWorks Animation’s major film franchises.

The worldwide total combines the film’s domestic and international theatrical grosses. It is different from the film’s production budget, which was substantially lower, and from later franchise totals. The film’s success led to Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, and several spin-off projects.
