Disney's Frozen - Part 2

[Raiden]

So in China, even with a limited 10 day run and relatively low theater count, Frozen is pacing to make 20-25m. Had it been given a reasonable run there it could have done 50.

In South Korea it's still a behemoth, its 4th Friday is almost as big as it's first Friday was

Frozen 1st Friday: 169.5k
Frozen 4th Friday: 161.5k (6,775,099/$50,374,163)


Frozen will probably end up passing 9 million admissions to pass Iron Man 3 as the second highest Hollywood movie ever released there (Avatar is #1 with over 13m admissions).
10m is possible now.

I wonder why China limits Frozen's run to only 10 days, whereas other Hollywood movies get longer time? Is it because the government dislike the messages contained within the movie (about coming out of the shadow and truth love between siblings)?

I can't recall if this was posted here earlier, but about a month ago when that big winter storm was raging at least 1 theater had a sense of humor about it.

But...it's not ironic. It would be ironic if it were a steaming hot day.

Friday Estimates are in.

Frozen has a solid hold against Lego with 1.4 million on Friday, that would be 6-6.5 million for the weekend. Even with direct competition from Lego, which is opening to over 60m, Frozen could have a drop under 30%.
If it does drop less than 30% that would be one of the most impressive feats in a run filled with impressive feats.

Since Lego is a direct competitor that targets Frozen's demographics, this is a very impressive feat indeed.

More awesomeness from South Korea. Frozen regains the #1 spot on Saturday.

Frozen 503,666/$3,818,380 (827 Screens/3755 Showtimes) - 7,280,418/$54,205,992
Miss Granny (수상한 그&#45376 433,993/$2,999,908 (766/3775)
Man in Love (남자가 사랑할 &#46412 84,200/$592,961 (404/1326)

it could very well surpass DM2 this weekend.

Came back from seeing it a little while ago. It's very Disney in they killed off the parents yet it's also progressive in the princesses/queen did not need a prince to save them. It definitely had a strongly feminist tone to it, though it wasn't detrimental or heavy-handed to the story.

I liked it.

 

[Hush]

I'm seeing this 4:25pm CST, I hope its as good as i am hearing.

Saw it again tonight, right after I saw Lego. Lego was selling out like crazy and Frozen was benefiting from Lego overflow. Frozen had nearly 300 people (400+ seat auditorium, same size as Lego was in), many of which filed in in the last 15 minutes before the movie started. I'm sure most of them were there to see Lego, but it sold out really fast, so Frozen made for a good alternate.

I was surprised when I went the other day. I guess it was probably overflow like at yours but it was 2:30 on a school day and the auditorium was at least 60% full. Pretty good this far into it's run.

Looks like the musical stage adaptation of Frozen is moving forward, Disney has created a micro site for it.

So yeah best Disney movie I have seen in quite some time.

That was the case when I saw it, 45 degrees outside

I'm glad you like it.

It looks like Lego opening so huge has actually worked in Frozen's favor. Frozen seems to have benefited from the over flow and put up a whopping 143% increase on Saturday to $3.4m, with a projection of $7m for the weekend. More than enough to blow past Despicable Me.
Everyone was thinking any drop around 40% from last week would be good, but it barely dropped 20%. I don't see any way it misses 400m now, it should be around 380m after the upcoming long weekend and still going strong. At this point I think the odds have turned in favor of it passing Iron Man 3 (409m) for the #2 spot for 2013, and even a teeny tiny shot at Catching Fire for #1 (highly unlikely, but suddenly there is a miniscule chance of it happening).

The fact that Frozen now has any possibility of passing IM3 and perhaps even CF is a cause for celebration. This is really a behemoth for Disney, and shattering all expectations. Looks like Lego Movie's direct competition for the same demographics is the reason why there's a spillover since families who can't see Lego Movie just went to Frozen instead.

Some overseas numbers.

South Korea added another 500,162 admissions Sunday, which means Frozen officially wins the weekend there, again.

1- Frozen 1,169,405/$8,888,816 (-28.8%)- 7,783,024/$57,991,938
2- Miss Granny (수상한 그&#45376 1,040,896/$7,155,185 (-40.7%)


China, despite the low screen count and showings is over performing somewhat, it's at 14.1m 5 days into its 10 day run and there are rumors it may get an extension.
Extensions are rare for Hollywood movies, but it does happen. The Croods got a brief extension, of 5 days I think, when it put up big numbers in China (over 60m).


=================================================================

Edit- Official ERC estimates are in and Frozen has passed 2 milestones. It passed Despicable Me 2 as the highest grossing animated film of 2013 and #3 (so far) overall.
Frozen also blew past 900m worldwide and now stands at 913m. 1 BILLION is an absolute lock, probably without even counting Japan. Close to 40m more domestic, 15m more from South Korea at a minium, could do another 30m, or more, there with the kind holds it's having. 15-25m more from China (it looks like will be playing longer than 10 days after all) and still another 10-15m from older holdover markets.

Frozen has officially passed DM2 as the highest grossing animated movie of 2013!

 

[DACrowe]

And before this is over it will be at least the third highest grossing film domestically.

Lessons to take away:

1) Disney execs really thought the princess archetype was over and unappealing?

2) Audiences are ready for animated films that rely on more than post-modern pop culture jokes.

3) All of Hollywood should take note that 2 out of the 3 highest grossing movies of 2013 at the domestic box office were female-centered Huh.

Good news all around.

By passing DM2 Frozen is already #3 domestically, Iron Man 3 total of 409m is the target to reach #2 now

Frozen is also #3 worldwide, but is a mortal lock to pass DM2 for #2 (DM2 should end around 980m). #1 would be tough, Iron Man 3 did over 1.2 billion, Frozen could hit 1.1 at this pace, unless it goes absolutely crazy in Japan and does Spirited Away type numbers (nearly 230m in Japan)

I can see Frozen as one of those event films that will get re-released every Christmas. I'm sure it will become the kind of movie that moviegoers won't mind seeing in the theatre over and over again.
