Disney fatigue was nowhere in sight as ‘Frozen 2′ just notched the biggest box office debut for an animated film ever. The follow-up to 2013’s Frozen scored $350 million at the global box office this weekend, surpassing the $245 million record held by another Disney flick, 2019’s The Lion King.
‘Frozen 2’ is projected to be the sixth Disney-helmed project to cross the billion-dollar mark this year, joining The Lion King, Avengers: Endgame, Toy Story 4, Incredibles 2, and Finding Dory. Disney movies have collectively earned $7.61 billion in 2019 alone, proving that Mickey Mouse owns our souls. Although labeled inferior to its predecessor, Frozen 2 still scored well with critics based on aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, noting that ‘it remains a dazzling adventure into the unknown’.
