The 3D caveman cartoon took in $34.1 million from 62 markets to raise its international total to $206.8 million. With its $125.8 million domestic haul, its global gross now stands at more than $331 million. Those numbers are good news for DreamWorks, which lost money after the misfire of its last release, "Rise of the Guardians."

With $212.7 million in domestic ticket sales, its global total now stands at $454 million.
