bambam Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 On May 28, 2016 at 10:15 PM, Jason said: So, Zootopia has now passed The Lion King for fourth highest-grossing animated film of all time, a little earlier than expected. But not because Zootopia has suddenly jumped past $987M worldwide, but rather because The Lion King just had its OS gross reduced by about $19M on Box Office Mojo, resulting in $968M worldwide. Anyone know what's going on there? Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but not sure where else to post. According to BOM: As a brief aside, some may have also noticed Zootopia passed The Lion King at the worldwide box office recently while also noticing The Lion King's international total on BoxOfficeMojo declined $19 million on Thursday afternoon. This came as a result of a correction issued by Disney to BoxOfficeMojo, alerting us the original release of The Lion King made $450.6 million internationally, an additional $3.8 million with the 2002 IMAX reissue, and another $91.3 million from 2011's 3D reissue for an international total of $545.7 million. As a result, The Lion King now ranks 29th on Mojo's all-time worldwide chart with $968.5 million. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that Disney would issue a correction now of all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if back then they were trying to pad the numbers so it could hit a billion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialFairyIX Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 In a matter of a few weeks, Zootopia will make history by becoming only the 4th animated film in history to pass the coveted $1 billion mark worldwide. However, that's not where the record ends: Walt Disney Animation Studios will officially become the only animated studio in history to boast two animated films grossing over $1 billion worldwide and to add to the already immensely historic achievement, it will accomplish this feat with TWO original films. Walt Disney Animation Studios has always had a rough time adapting to change early on, but once it does, it will not only be a beast but prove to everyone why it's considered a legendary studio. Zootopia was such an iffy and often under-estimated release that any thought of the film crossing the $1 billion mark was void let alone passing Big Hero 6, but here we are: Zootopia not only outperformed even the most optimistic of predictions but will heap over Big Hero's gross by more than $300 million! What a great time for animation! An advance congratulations to Disney and the creators of Zootopia who dedicated their passion into creating a classic animated film for the 21st century! Thank you! And may more success for animation follow! PS: We all a BP nomination for animation is LONG WAY OVERDUE! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Minion Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Forget the billion, never though Zootopia could reach $750M! May be a technicality, but would Frozen be considered an original movie, since it's based on existing material (The Ice Queen)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only BOM fixes the WW-gross for TLK and updates it to a higher gross. I'm not satisfied with that $968M, tbh. Nope, it's for real. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4191&p=.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks unlikely to reach $1B by Sunday, but it will do it mid-week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it actually will reach $1B by Sunday, although we might have to wait for the actuals to come in on Monday. As of Tuesday, May 3: $993.8M. By Sunday, add in about $0.7M from domestic and $0.5M from OS-Japan, $995M. Requires $5M from Japan to hit $1B. Assume that Monday's gross from Japan is included in the OS total. Tuesday + Wednesday in Japan about $0.9M. Thursday to Sunday then requires $4.1M, seems very doable. Last week Thurs-Sun was $4.7M. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With domestic estimates for Friday, Zootopia is actually on track to do about .9M-1M which means (assuming all your other numbers are accurate) Japan would only need 3.8-3.9 from Thursday-Sunday. Definite possibility. *Fingers crossed* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless OS-Japan fails to deliver, $1B is happening this weekend. OS-Japan was ~$1M last week, so I don't think $0.4-$0.5M is too much to ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
