Claire of Themyscira Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I've been a lurker for quite some time... butI had to create an account...... I'm blown away by Frozen's numbers. I keep waiting for it to drop, but it just doesn't. So glad Disney was brave enough to return to musicals. That's what's been missing from animation the last decade, good original music. The fact that the Frozen Album is number 2 on iTunes right now is proof that people were hungry for something like this. Welcome! I hope you have an amazing time and don't regret this.

RySenkari Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 They need to move Giants up to Holiday 2015. I mean, Disney could alternate between doing a musical one year and a light-hearted non-musical the next. 2014- Big Hero 6 2015- Giants 2016- Zootopia 2017- Moana 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the Frozen Album is number 2 on iTunes right now is proof that people were hungry for something like this. Welcome. And yes, the moment was ripe for a movie like Frozen, along the lines of the early 90's Disney Renaissance classics, to break out in a HUGE manner. The kids who grew up with those Renaissance classics are now young parents with kids of their own, college students, or older teens i.e. the entirety of the lucrative 18-30 age demographic. So they are the driving force behind Frozen's monstrous success. It also helps that its "classic" feel appeals to older demographics as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on second thought, The Good Dinosaur is a November 2015 release while Summer 2015 is a hot mess. Have no clue where Giants will fit in to stand a chance to make Frozen numbers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age of Disney I prefer the term of Frozen being part of Disney's Great Awakening. And yes, Frozen passed 250M, but you know what else it looks like it did? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlMBcTGJ4YM Edited December 31, 2013 by Blankments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I just realized that Frozen will pass the 400000 mark of tickets sold today or tomorrow here. Despicable Me 2 ended with 300000 tickets sold. Holy crap Frozen And 47 Ronin confirms his blockbuster status, with over 60000 tickets sold in the first 4 days. It is a huge opening. For comparison in the first 4 days these movie sold: Man of Steel - 36000 tickets; Pacific Rim - 18000 tickets; Oblivion - 37000 tickets; After Earth - 27000 tickets; Now You See Me, Wolverine, GI Joe 2 and Elysium - 40000 tickets; Die Hard 5 - 42000 tickets; World War Z - 52000 tickets; Gravity - 30000 tickets; White House Down - 22000 tickets. And the big shocker: Thor The Dark World - 55000 tickets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I won't watch Frozen but its run is pretty remarkable. Particulalrly as most reviews are along the lines of 'this is charming' rather than 'this is a must-see'. Also, it's an animated movie that isn't relying on cute animals.

Yeah we're getting to in 2016 and 2018, but I'd still prefer a film once a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonePirate Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 So Frozen grossed more on its fifth Monday in wide release than it did on its second Friday in wide release? That is certainly unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
