Disney's Frozen - Part 2

[Incarnadine]

That's mighty impressive, considering the fact that there were at least 3 new movies opened this week, and this is Frozen's 8th week released in the US. I would've love it if Frozen can beat Ride Along, but that movie is only on its 3rd week and nowhere close to Frozen's accomplishment. Unfortunately, the Lego Movie is out next week, and will probably steal a sizable chunk of Frozen's young audience, so it will likely lose a significant percentage, but 400 mil domestic is still within reach.

Actually, this was Frozen's 10th week in wide release, and it had 1 week in limited release where it played in 1 theater.
Technically, it opened the same day as Catching Fire, Nov. 22, but it went wide Nov. 27.

That 9.31m this weekend puts Frozen as the 4th highest 10th weekend of all Time, Behind Titanic, Avatar and Slumdog Millionaire (that weekend was the weekend after its Oscar win and it had a huge increase).

$9m and second place in the US this weekend. $360m in the US total. $864m worldwide. Nice.

It won't die

 

[DarthSkywalker]

And I love it. So much pessimism before it came out. And it might end up topping Despicable Me 2. It might make a billion. Outstanding.

yep!! it's amazing how well it has held up all these weeks in!!

Let's see if it can hold up well with the Lego movie coming out next Fri.

If it holds against Lego decently it will put up really good numbers the following weekend. Valentine's Day falls on Friday and family friendly movies always get a big boost that day, often more than 50% higher than what they would have gotten, and Monday is Presidents' Day, so Sunday and Monday will be higher due to the holiday.
Everything seems to be aligning perfectly for 400m+

and I can see them keeping it in theaters well after the Blu-Ray/DVD comes out.

I was surprised how long DM2 stayed in the theaters.

Oh, it'll be in theaters longer than that, especially if it's still chasing 400.

Tangled opened Nov. 24 (nearly identical date to Frozen) and Disney let it play until May 30 to clear 200m. It was at 194.46 Feb. 24 so they kept it playing over 3 more months to get that last 5.55m.
If it came down to it I wouldn't be surprised if Disney ran a Maleficent/Frozen double bill to push Frozen over (it's been done many times before by most studios).

 

[X Knight]

what's a double bill??

they play both movies back to back??

Yup, and both movies get credit for the boxoffice.

wow!! that would be a long time to sit through to watch 2 movies.......lol.

 

[redhawk23]

They actually did quite a few John Carter/ Avengers double bills in an attempt to salvage the cost of distributing the former. I went to one.

 

[sueb1863]

Theaters used to do double bills all the time. Kids spent all Saturday afternoon at the movie theaters watching Westerns and horror movies.

 

[X Knight]

so do you get a special price on the double bills? or do they charge full price for both movies?

and do they normally have some kind of break in between or does the 2nd film start right away?

 

[The Silent Traveler]

Frozen's BO number is beyond amazing especially for an original animated movie. I'm thinking of ordering a DVD version from Amazon.

 

[X Knight]

so how long will the Sing Alongs be playing?

was it just for this weekend??

Definitely the rest of the week. I think I heard somewhere it was going to be 2 weeks, but I don't know for sure.

 

[Raiden]

I hope they will include the Sing-Along version on blu-ray disc.

This is just a special film, the type you can put on to feel better after a difficult day, can't wait to own the Blu Ray.

 

[craigdbfan]

It truly is something special.

yep!! t:

 

[X Knight]

looks like the official weekend #s are in, and it fell just shy of $360m.

It made $8.9m, which brings the total to $359.6m.

hopefully it can hold steady this week and not drop too much in the face of the Lego movie.

then next weekend, the long Valentines/President's Day weekend, get a nice boost to surpass DM2.

 

[Lily Adler]

If the Lego Movie is as good as the critics say than I think we should be worried.

 

[mclay18]

I think Frozen will hold just fine when The Lego Movie comes out, perhaps a slightly bigger drop but WOM keeps this going. The family movie that will suffer is The Nut Job.
