Summer is over, but the usual suspects still sit atop the Box Office Ten.

The animated brigade that still is in release ... in anywhere from a handful to 500 theaters, have running totals as follows:

Animated Features

17) How To Train Your Dragon 2 -- $174,181,658

27) Planes: Fire and Rescue -- $57,983,850

48) Rio 2 -- $131,538,435

57) Mr. Peabody and Sherman -- $11,506,430

Of the pictures above, Dragon 2 landed about where it was bound to land based on its opening weekend numbers. Planes is likely a sizable disappointment for Diz Co., since this follow-up is in wide-screen, has a stronger story, and yet has pretty much tanked with the AMC and family trade. (And its under-performance is likely the reason there have been layoffs at DisneyToons Studio.)

Mr. Peabody and Sherman was a write-off for DreamWorks, and Rio 2 has performed okay globally, even if it was a see bit underwhelming in the domestic theatrical marketplace.
