Encanto Charms Audiences With $40 Million Opening
Although theater audiences have not returned to pre-pandemic numbers, Hollywood was thankful this holiday weekend. Truly, Encanto charms audiences of all ages, and it’s evident with its opening weekend numbers.
Impressive Numbers
Encanto is Walt Disney Animation’s newest adventure, and it caused families to return to the theaters. Indeed, it had a five-day Thanksgiving opening of more than $40 million, and Encanto grossed $11 million just on Black Friday.
Hence, it seems that this family-friendly film should obtain top showing for families during the COVID-19 era. Also, the movie opened exclusively in theaters, the first major animated movie to do so since the pandemic began in March 2020.
Perfect Timing for Families
Accordingly, Encanto hit theaters on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, which was just in time. Now, children are able to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, which provides some families confidence to return to theaters.
Encanto is about a teenage Columbian girl who must save her family’s magic. However, she has no special powers of her own.
Cast and Crew
Byron Howard, Jared Bush, and Charise Castro Smith directed the film. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote Encanto‘s original songs.
Voice actors include Stepanie Beatriz, Maria Cecilia Botero, Wilmer Valderrama, Adassa, Diane Guerrero, Mauro Castillo, and Angie Cepeda. In addition, it has Jessica Darrow, Rhenzy Feliz, Carolina Gaitan, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, and John Leguizamo.
More Updates to Come
Of course, Encanto charms families everywhere, and updated numbers will be released on Sunday, November 28, 2021. So, be sure to remain connected to MickeyBlog, where we continuously share all Disney news, information, and updates.
