‘Frozen 2’ Now Holds Title As Highest Grossing Animated Film Ever
Though its hard to imagine any animated film surpassing the success of the original Frozen film, its sequel has done just that! The news has just come out that Frozen 2 now officially holds the title as the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
The sequel has generated a mighty $1.325 billion at the global box office surpassing Frozen 2 ($1.281 million) and Incredibles 2 ($1.243 million) to secure the top spot. This means that Walt Disney Studio is now responsible for the top three biggest cartooned movies of all time.
Frozen 2, was the third-biggest film of 2019 after Disney’s “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.79 billion) and “The Lion King” ($1.65 billion). In the U.S., “Frozen 2” has earned $449 million and remained in the top five for an impressive 7 weeks. The family-friendly film has also brought in $875.4 million to date. Aside from the domestic box office, “Frozen 2” amassed the biggest bounty in China ($118 million), followed by Japan ($103.8 million), Korea ($96.2 million) and the United Kingdom ($65 million).
In addition to this massive milestone, Frozen 2 launched with $130 million. This sets a November record for an animated movie and becoming the first animated title outside of summer to surpass triple digits in its first weekend. The movie also set a new high for Thanksgiving box office releases, earning $123 million over the five-day holiday frame.
Despite the success of Frozen and its sequel, Lee told Variety she was “very surprised” by the milestone. “We just found out,” Lee told Variety at the BAFTA Tea Party on Saturday afternoon. “I’m really excited. I think we’re always surprised.”
