Pixar’s “Finding Dory” has crossed $1 billion at the global box office to become the fifth highest-grossing animated film of all time.
The film is Pixar’s second billion-dollar grossing release, joining “Toy Story 3,” and the 12th Walt Disneyrelease to hit that mark. It is also the fourth film by Disney to reach that milestone in the past 12 months, joining “Captain America: Civil War,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” and “Zootopia.” “The Jungle Book” fell just short, earning $966.2 million globally.
“Finding Dory” is the year’s highest-grossing domestic release with $485 million. It earned an additional $517 million internationally. The sequel to 2003’s “Finding Nemo” brought back original cast members Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks, and earned strong critical reviews. It follows Dory, a Pacific blue tang with short-term memory loss, as she tries to reunite with her family.

Think the staggered release might have not helped as much or it didn't matter but at same time I see why with all the other movies bunched up together released and them taking advantage of key holidays in diff countries
So it might not have matter regardless
