I think that the underperformance of TROS, cats and spies in desguise, and to a certain extent jumanji, compesated it. Otherwise if one of those movies would have overperformed, especially overseas, frozen would have made just 1.2 B
Finding Nemo = 102 M
Finding Dory = 65M
Toy story 3 = 126 M
Toy story 4= 93M
Finding Dory decreased from nemo and toy story 4 too. Even tho it wasnt a huge drop, TS4 couldnt make 100M, but it is still a big success. Frozen 1 was a phenomenon, and frozen 2 is still a big hit like these other four movies.
Frozen 1 performed like the force awakens in USA and Frozen 2 like the last jedi. (I hope the next frozen movie doesnt drop like TROS)
To me its impressive that even tho it fell in japan, it made even much more money overseas and domestic to make it pass the first movie’s gross. This is not a dissapointment
Maybe frozen III makes 110 M in japan, 70M in south korea and 200M in China
The movie is played with lyrics and people can enjoy the movie while singing at the songs. The first frozen was released this way too and boosted its box office results in the USA
I liked moana, but i feel moana has just two memorable songs: How far ill go and you’re welcome, whereas frozen has: let it go, love is an open door, for the first time in forever and do you want to build a snowman
