Frozen Already Takes In Over $99.6 Million at the Box Office
Frozen 2 is proving a hit with moviegoers with a $41.8 million opening including $8.5 million during Thursday previews. This makes the sequel the biggest single-day gross for a non-Summer toon. Experts are expecting an opening weekend in the $110 – $125 million range. That would make the film the first animated feature to open above $100 million outside of Summer.
As Bloomberg argues, this will infuse some much-needed energy into a slumping box office with flicks like Charlie’s Angel and Terminator: Dark Fate disappointing at the box office. Geetha Ranganathan a Media Analyst at Bloomberg had this to say, “Disney’s much anticipated “Frozen II” animated sequel could kick-start a box-office recovery with a blistering $130 million weekend opening. The movie will breathe life into an industry where year-to-date receipts are down 7.5%.”
Its also performing well in the international market, The movie’s opening is the highest for Disney Animation-Pixar in China and Poland and the No. 1 Disney Animation debut in the U.K. Early estimates from its second day in China point to a further $24 million.
So how does this compare with the original Frozen opening? Six years ago, the film debuted in cinemas over Thanksgiving weekend grossing $93 million during its Wednesday – Sunday opening. So it’s safe to say the film is definitely holding its own!
It will be interesting to see how the film continues to fare over Thanksgiving week and if it does indeed become (as we reported last week) the 6th Disney blockbuster of 2019 to cross the $1 billion mark!
