But DreamWorks executives believe the holiday season is the prime time for starting ``Prince of Egypt.'' ``It's the same holiday around the world, so it makes sense to take advantage of that on the international release pattern,'' said distribution head James Tharp. Early buzz has been positive, particularly since performance by ``Antz,'' DreamWorks' first animated film, has beaten expectations. Seven-week domestic grosses for ``Antz'' have passed $81 million while its foreign take has topped $24 million. Baskerville noted the gap between domestic and foreign start dates has been narrowing due to growing worldwide interest in entertainment. ``Tomorrow Never Dies'' and ``Titanic'' saw particularly quick foreign rollouts last December.
