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.

The Lego movie is getting very good reviews.

Great article. I believe Gad when he said that he thinks Frozen will become a classic much like other musicals such as Mary Poppins. I think kids in the future will still be engrossed by this movie, and its songs will still be popular decades from now.

The Lego movie is getting very good reviews.

I think Frozen will be hit with a larger-than-usual drop thanks to the Lego Movie, but I think it can weather the storm because after its 10th week, this movie has stood tall against competitions in a week-by-week basis, and this past week it managed to climb back up to #2. I don't think the moviegoers will suddenly stop going to see Frozen just because of the Lego Movie.

The Lego Movie is getting *fantastic* reviews, it's at 100% positive at Rotten Tomatoes. If Frozen can hold against this, that's going to be really impressive.

at this point, I just want Frozen to pass DM2's $368m, just for bragging rights if nothing else.

and no matter what, that looks very doable in the next 2 weeks.

I thought that this was going to stop prob in the $320m - $330m range, and we are well beyond that.

heck, I was happy when it passed Tangled's $200m......lol.

I still think 400 mil domestic is doable, and U think Disney will find a way to help Frozen reach this milestone.

I'm confident it will make it. Sure, it'll have a significant drop this weekend, but it will follow that with an exceptional hold the following long weekend which also has Valentine's Day landing on Friday. At the end of that 2nd weekend I see Frozen over 375m. It might take 7 or 8 more weeks after that to get that last 25m, but it will leg it out.

Frozen has a solid 486k Monday, so it's over 360 now, and on pace to do 2 million in weekdays this week.

yet to see... Rate Frozen on a scale from 1-10. As a possible Disney classic?

well, that's really up to personal preference.

For me, I'd rate it a 10.

But I'd say it's definitely on the high end of the scale in the 8-10 range.

And I think it will go down as a Disney classic.

If Tangled can be considered the "Little Mermaid" of the new Disney revival/renaissance, then Frozen can be considered the "Beauty and the Beast" in that it builds upon the success of the prior films and further the new revival along.

I hope princess and the frog will also be loved in the future. That movie got way underrated

I found this cover of Let It Go and it's one of the best covers of the song out there:



The singer is the winner of a show called "Voice Korea" according to the comments.

It's a 10. There is no doubt it's an instant classic. The only debate will be just where it fits onto the list of Disney Classics, and that debate will rage on without end since that always comes down to personal preference, and nostalgia.

Frozen opened in China yesterday. China is an unpredictable market and heavily favors local movies, which explains what is happening with Frozen. Apparently Frozen is getting just 10% of the screens, with limited showing (reports are many of those screens are just 2 dubbed showings) and it will only be playing there for 10 days regardless of how it does.
That being said, it still managed 17m Yuan, about $2.7m US opening day.
So, maybe $20m from China, but since Frozen wasn't originally supposed to get a China release at all it's still all gravy.

Apparently 3 really huge local movies just opened recently accounting for almost 75% of screens between them.

Has this opened in Japan yet?

Has this opened in Japan yet?

Nope, not until March 14th.

Nope, not until March 14th.

thanks.

I'm going to have to go see Frozen once or twice more very soon, my theater seems to be phasing it out and only has three screenings a day for the next week and probably less the following.

I'm disappointed but not too surprised.

Figures that a movie that promotes people not to keep their talents and secrets bottled up wouldn't get a wide release in China.
