‘Frozen 2’ Breaks Box Office Records With a $350 million Worldwide Launch
The opening weekend results for Frozen 2 are in the sequel has defied expectations and broke a few records! According to a recent piece in Forbes, the film starring Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad opened with an impressive $127 domestic box office and record-breaking $350 million worldwide launch!
To put it in perspective, that’s a record global opening for an animated feature film and surpasses Incredibles 2‘s $242 million worldwide launch. The film also had a $55 million opening in China which is a record-breaker in and of itself! Right now, it would appear that the film may actually be on target to exceed the first Frozen‘s $876 million overseas figures!
With a Friday opening, critics were originally suspect that Frozen 2 would surpass the original at the box office. This seemed to be consistent with the $41.8 million opening on Friday. However, box offices saw a 19% jump in figures on Saturday and another 50% jump on Sunday!
As we mentioned last week, it would seem like the film could potentially be on target to be Disney’s 6th $1 billion blockbuster of 2019. However, we’ll first need to see how to plays out at the box office! As Forbes points out, it’s yet to be determined whether the film fill play like a seasonal film or become a fan-drive fantasy blockbuster like the original!
