This week, it’s been verified that the Latvian Oscar-winning animated film “Flow” has surpassed $50 million at the worldwide box office. According to Charades, its sales company, this achievement places “Flow” among the top commercially successful independent animated films nominated for an Oscar in recent times.
Under the guidance of director Gints Zilbalodis and production companies Sacrebleu Productions, Dream Well, and Take Five, the film “Flow” has surpassed anticipations for a dialogue-free movie created on a budget of approximately €3.5 million ($3.7 million). This narrative revolves around a cat that manages to endure a devastating flood and forms bonds with other displaced creatures while aboard a vessel. In the absence of humans, these animals traverse an abandoned landscape in search of optimism and security.
Unlike numerous internationally acclaimed animated films that haven’t brought in big box office earnings, “Flow” has bucked this trend. It is the highest-grossing independent animated film nominated for an Oscar in recent times, outperforming titles like “The Boy and the Heron” by Hayao Miyazaki. For instance, “Robot Dreams,” which was released in 2024, grossed $4.7 million worldwide, while “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On,” from 2023, made $6.9 million – and yet neither of these came close to “Flow’s” success.
Regionally, the movie “Flow” has shown remarkable success: earning approximately $5.9 million in France through UFO Distribution, $2.7 million in the United Kingdom with Curzon, $2.5 million in Germany, and over $2.1 million in its home country Latvia, where it holds the record as the most-watched film ever with over 255,000 tickets sold.
In North America, Janus Films and Sideshow collectively earned approximately 4.8 million dollars. Latin America as a whole contributed around 14.6 million dollars, with Mexico accounting for over 7 million dollars alone. The Asian region saw China contributing about 3.91 million dollars, while South Korea, Hong Kong, and other countries added to the total amount.

Zilbalodis expressed his thrill about hitting the $50 million milestone, sharing with EbMaster, “The global reception for ‘Flow’ surpassed our most ambitious projections. It proves that there’s a significant demand for original and heartfelt stories, and it suggests that small teams can create independent animated films that captivate audiences on a grand scale worldwide. I hope this success encourages more individuals to create distinctive and groundbreaking films.
