Disney's Frozen - Part 2

[X Knight]

No way, no how will it miss 400m.

Here's a comparison against other big animated movies late in their run that was posted on another board:

Croods added 18.5m after it's 4.2m weekend - 4.4x
Tangled added 14m after it's 3m weekend - 4.67x
TS3 added 26m after it's 5.1m weekend - 5.1x
WiR added 25m after it's 4.8m weekend - 5.2x
DM2 added 22m after it's 3.9m weekend - 5.64x


Frozen just needs 3.68x to get to 400m.
Needs 5.75x to get IM3.
Needs 7.12x to get TS3.


That 3.68x is far below all those other movies while Frozen has had better legs than all of them up to this point.


Just 15.6m to go, it's still playing on almost 1900 screens coming off a 4.3m weekend with just 2 new wide releases coming this weekend that aren't remotely direct competition. We also have the Academy Awards this weekend, and assuming Frozen wins we should see some kind of bump right after. It's simply too close now to miss, they aren't going to suddenly pull it while it's still making good money. After the upcoming weekend I see it around 389m, legs and Oscar bump will have it cruise past 400 to finish around 410, unless Disney really wants to push it with double features or a short re-expansion, then, who knows what it could finish at?

yeah, I'm pretty sure it will get to $400m.

I was just worried that with the DVD coming out soon, that will hurt the theatrical BO.

so you just totally Let Yourself Go???

For the First Time in Forever, yes, I did.

For the First Time in Forever, yes, I did.

did you let your hair down, too, y'know.........for added effect??

Nah, it was down to begin with.

 

[X Knight]

hah!

Tangled actually made another 15m after the DVD was released, and that was from much smaller numbers than Frozen is making. Disney left Tangled in theaters until May 30 from an almost identical release date as Frozen just to get it to 200 ($200.8m final total). I don't think Frozen will need that kind of push, but if it does you can bet Disney will do what it takes. 400 is extremely rare for animated movies, only 3 have ever done it, and one of them needed 2 re-releases to do it (The Lion King)

1- Shrek 2 - $441m
2- The Lion King - $422.8m (312.8m in original run)
3- Toy Story 3 - $415m

Frozen will actually beat them all Worldwide. Toy Story 3 is the only animated movie to ever pass 1 Billion (1.063 B)

well if Tangled could make another 15m after its DVD release, then Frozen should have no problem doing at least that.

and it would certainly be amazing when Frozen reaches the $400m mark.

especially since it felt like this movie didn't have a whole lot of hype behind it.

Speaking of Shrek, there's rumor a fifth one is in the works now.

 

[X Knight]

Really funny "behind the scene" look at Frozen, although I wish Idina was there too.

Don't forget Lion King was released twenty years ago. Can't really compare the numbers for that movie with Frozen. The numbers it did back then is far more impressive than Frozen (or any other recent animated movie). With the ticket price of today The Lion King would have made over $600 million domestically.

 

[CGHulk]

Well you can now download the movie and bonus content for one price of $19.99 on iTunes.

Yes, due to inflation the movies back then made more, but movies nowadays would come out with a DVD in 3 months and have to compete against many different forms of entertainments. And besides, if we want to play that game then Gone With The Wind will be the champ every year.

Adjusted for inflation.

Yes, Gone with the Wind is the biggest movie of all time (at least domestically. There's a chance Titanic is bigger worldwide) and will likely forever be. And so what if the movies back in 1994 had less competition? Doesn't make their numbers less impressive. And it's still meaningless comparing movies released with a significant amount of years between them.

It's good news/bad news overseas.

In South Korea Frozen finally lost a bunch of screens this week with a bunch of new movies opening and was #4 on Friday. Should be over 9.7m admissions by Sunday and will easily pass 10m, but 11 looks out of reach now unless there is a sing-a-long expansion closer to the end of it's run in SK.

In China Frozen also lost some showtimes due to Desolation of Smaug taking up 38% of all screens, but on the plus side it has been given a 2 week extension to March 20th. It will be around 40m by the end of the weekend but with the extension (even with reduced showings) 50m is doable.

Well, it looks like Disney really wants to push the totals for Frozen, sing-a-long version just announced for SK on March 6.
Apart from the English speaking countries I know Italy had it, as well as Argentina so I'd bet SK won't be the last overseas country to get the sing-a-long. Heck, if it's embraced in Japan like people are expecting it will probably happen at the end of it's run there too.
1.1 billion is already pretty much locked, but if the sing-a-long gets released in more overseas countries and has a significant effect Frozen might challenge Iron Man 3's worldwide total of 1.2 Billion for #1 worldwide for 2013.

From one of the largest distribution chains in SK.

It's in Korean, but the original poster of this translates it as "winter kingdom singalong(SK title of frozen)" as the text next to the Frozen poster.
