I would laugh my ass off if this outgrosses DM2 worldwide.
It's slowly becoming a possibility....
Japan will be a key factor. It needs to do a lot better than Tangled there in order to push its final total to well over $500 million.
Interesting to see an animated feature about winter/snow perform well in Latin America. I guess that angle might even help the film there then?
Either way, amazing performance.
Yeah Tangled is the better film. For some reason it angers people around the internet. But I feel okay saying that around here.
I enjoyed Frozen a lot, but Tangled was a slam dunk in my opinion.
Strangely enough a Snow Queen stage show was in production for Disneyland Tokyo in the early 2000s. Alan Menken had composed several songs for it, one of which is on YouTube I think. It was canceled and we now have Frozen obviously.
But with this success rate, a Broadway show will be coming sooner rather than later anyway.
These are some unprecedented numbers for a Walt Disney Animation Studios release. Staggering numbers from Europe and Australia. I expect South America and later on Japan to embrace it as well.
Around $90 million for the week. I wonder if it can have another week like this.
Brasil might give us a strong opening weekend. They love their Disney animation.
Not really. All I could say is Frozen is the only film out right now with exceptional word of mouth.
A lot of movies are considered okay at best by the general public. Doesn't explain everything though. Maybe we should wait for actuals. Frozen might be overestimated.
By the end of the weekend is possible. It was doing gangbusters over Christmas here in The Netherlands and I see no reason why it isn't doing the same in France, Germany etc.
