‘Frozen 2’ records biggest debut for an animated film ever

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’.
