After showing the potential of its newly acquired Fox division last weekend with the
successful opening of "Ford v Ferrari," Disney flexed is animation muscles this weekend with the release of "Frozen II."
The highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster 2013 original brought in an estimated $127 million at the domestic box office. That's the best opening for an animated movie ever for the month of November. It also puts a shot in the arm for a box office that has been hit with weak releases of late, like "Terminator: Dark Fate," "Doctor Sleep," and "Charlie's Angels."
The opening for "Frozen II" is better than the opening for the 2013 release, which brought in
$93 million over Thanksgiving weekend. The sequel earned $100 million globally by Friday. Not a surprise as fans of the Oscar-winning original have been waiting patiently for six years to see a sequel.
