Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- A coconut hoofbeat gag in Shrek the Third repeats a joke from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which also starred John Cleese and Eric Idle. Idle walked out of the premiere, reentered after calming himself down, and claimed to be considering suing the producers over the unauthorized use.
- Shrek the Third took $121.6 million in its first weekend, the best opening weekend ever for an animated film, and it held that record for nine years until Finding Dory's $135.1 million debut in 2016.
- Opening in 4,122 North American cinemas on May 18, 2007, Shrek the Third grossed $38 million on its first day, the biggest opening day for an animated film at the time; Toy Story 3 took the record three years later in 2010.
