Zootopia 2 could be another incredibles 2 if they wait the same amount of time.

Frozen II might be having the most admissions ever for a single day in Japan this December 1st. It's Sunday and the first of the month, so tickets are discounted. This is huge.

Does it look like it can hit past 150 million?

I always find it fascinating how the same one thing can have a different effect on different people even though we’re also the same one thing:human.

When looking at other animated films at this time of year, It’s interesting that the pattern seems to be that at its best Sunday matches Wednesday.

If after 10 days Frozen ends up around 300 million, I think 500 million is pretty much assured for it. 

 

Should end up around 1.450-1.5 billion worldwide and number ten all time WW. 

 

Unsure how anyone can call that a disappointment XD 

Money is never disappointing,but the context of expectations can sometimes make you feel it is.

Had frozen 2 been live action it probably would have opened to 174+.🙃

That film was marketed brilliantly though, and you could feel that there was an anticipation for an adaptation of it

True,although frozen 2 was also marketed very well and they both have practically the same audience.

130 million opening weekend is disappointing for Frozen 2? I simply don't get that at all. That makes no sense to me.

Knowing that Beauty and the beast 2017 opened to 174 million,can make you think it’s disappointing.

The beginning of anything is the process of a pushing point,and a pushing point is started from a beginning motivation;the beginning motivation towards the universe IS the representation of a creator,therefore the question shouldn’t be IF there’s a creator but what TYPE of creator.

Not to mention Paul Briggs the other talented co-director who originally was an animation effects artist, but with his passionate and keen sense of storytelling,he moved up into the story ranks proving to be a vital talent for the Walt Disney Animation Studios.

[Raya and the Last Dragon | March 5, 2021 | Premier Access/Theater simultaneous release]

Dean Wellins the co-director has proven himself to be a really talented storyboard artist with him storyboarding the “let it go” sequence from “Frozen” , baymax and hiro’s first flight scene in “Big Hero 6”and countless other iconic Disney moments with that in mind this can be a really exiting film.

Sometimes you see films with that superfluous sex scene or characters just swearing so much in an unnatural way. Probably  because the filmmaker feels that  he’s in the “adult” playground so he CAN put that in there.Instead of approaching a film with “how can I show a feeling of life up on the screen” you see filmmakers approaching it from “what tone am I putting up on the screen”, such a mindset leaves some films feeling like a stereotype rather then real life.

Now when it comes to films that we call “kids movies” they’re not, they’re just films that happen to not have an over abundance of violence,sex,etc. If there’s films that FEEL like it was made for children that’s the filmmakers doing of not accurately portraying life up on the screen.

Movies is a piece of life up on the screen presented in story mode, right? So I believe films should be perceived that way  regardless of any stereotypical mindset that we were brought up with.So when I write that “Spotlight” and “Schindler’s list” are not just “for adults”, I’m writing what I believe to be a fact that those films and other films  with that similar of a tone in its content, is films that may have what we believe is uncomfortable content for children, but it’s still just films that are commenting or showing an aspect of life. So regardless if children like it, or we want them  to like it, it’s not a film with “adult” content.One  million children were killed in the holocaust regardless if we feel it’s suitable for them or not, so life is life, and films should be understood to be a reflection of that.

I dont know any kids who would enjoy watching 'spotlight' or 'Schindler's list' just like I dont know any adults who would care for 'Winnie the Pooh' or 'Dumbo' unless they are taking their children to see it. So I'd say you are wrong there
