[Deadline] ‘Frozen 2’ Set To Ice ‘Toy Story 4’ For Toon Global Opening Weekend Record With $242M+
- Thread starter BringBackSonics
- Start date
For a second there I missed the part where "global" was specified and thought this was domestic only. I very nearly choked on my tea.
I'm going at least once this weekend

It seems like TS4 and Lion King 2019 are basically tied for biggest animated opening, or are within a million dollars of each other, so based on fudged numbers some sites claim one or the other is the biggest.
At first I glossed over the global opening part and thought it was tracking for $240m+ domestic. That would've been wild. $240m global is actually much less impressive. It may not beat the first at this rate.
I believe Lion King opened with $191m domestically (which is indeed higher) and $531m WW opening weekend but it opened a week earlier Internationally. But I don't think it's being compared to TLK, since it may not fall under anime.

Cool, I kinda want to see it opening weekend for the crowd.
Simba surprised face
Jumanji 2
Cats
Jumanji (and Cats lol) but it feels like interest in that is way down from the last one.
Eh, who knows. The 2017 Jumanji seemed to come out of nowhere, too.
I suspect repeat viewings for Rise of Skywalker will be higher than they were for Last Jedi, but probably not the same level as TFA (a movie that even my mom, who I'd only describe as a casual fan of Star Wars and has told me outright she thinks going to movies multiple times in the theatre is dumb, saw twice). That would create an opening for Jumanji 2 to counter-program, same as last time, but that probably depends on some factors that are uncontrollable.
The film would have to have pretty bad word-of-mouth not to hit $1B.
But I guess we'll see. I wouldn't take that bet, though.
My issue with Jumanji is that it looks almost exactly the same as the first in terms of story.
I wouldn't be so sure that TROS beats Frozen domestically or worldwide. Both will be huge but I feel like many are underestimating how big Frozen is with kids and how much steam it has gained in home sales and merchandise since the original released in theaters. I suspect it ends up closer to the final gross of The Incredibles 2 than the original Frozen.
TROS also has Jumanji 2 to contend with while Frozen II will have several weeks largely to itself.

Nah, just online. It had great legs and made a ton of money. Families kept going and talking about it all summer.
