FROZEN II WEEKEND THREAD | 130.26M OW | BLACK FRIDAY WEEK SALE: Gold Accounts 25% OFF | I like warm hugs and I cannot lie | No Knives Out Spoilers :)

[Firepower]

Depressing weekend.

[excel1]

Waited too long. Needed to be out in 2015 or 2016. 

[John Marston]

Good for Frozen, though Jumanji might hurt it a bit in a couple

of weeks. Still

should make at least 400m and potentially 900m or more overseas 

[titanic2187]

One key frozen did so much especially for an original animation was Christmas and NY season, look at how insane was those jumps for a nearly one-month old film.

 

Frozen 2 will never achieve the same, 2019's year end season will be much more crowded than in 2013

Well, people are definitely still seeing Frozen 2. It's got a good chance of ending with a higher domestic total than the first film, especially without adjusting for inflation. It's not "wow look at those numbers" type of numbers, but I think it's doing fine. Frozen 3 might be a longshot (and thankfully, too... make something else, you know what I mean?)

 

I'm concerned with Ford V Ferrari's second weekend gross... I hope it's better than the current estimate.

The original Frozen's run looks even more insane in retrospect. Movie spent 16 weeks in the top 10. There was never gonna be a way for the sequel to duplicate that kind of lightning-in-a-bottle type of run. That said, a total over the original would definitely make Disney very happy, especially when so many sequels and franchises are dying before our eyes (this month alone has provided a handful of those) these days.

Tbh I would rather have a Disney+ series. Frozen II does a a lot of world building that really deserves more than a 1.40 sequel run time.

I feel like a lot was cut out. There were a lot of outtake songs in the deluxe edition of the soundtrack and two characters were introduced in the movie but completely forgotten after they were introduced.

The outtakes to me felt like they were exploring story options. I think “Get This Right” is good example of they intended to have option A happened so they wrote a song, but realize that option B was better so I had to ditch the song.

[Cmasterclay]

I think the Frozen number is fine, considering it doesn't have the zeitgeist hit and they waited so long.....still a very solid gross and I know my niece and all her friends are waiting on it, so legs should be tremendous.

 

Shit numbers for Beautiful Day and Bridges though. Beautiful Day in particular I thought could do 30/120+ when the first trailer dropped and got such huge buzz. Maybe it will leg out Mary Poppins style.

Ladies and gentlemen, the death of cinema.   
 

But I totally agree.

A Disney+ series would be amazing, but only if they kept the 3D animation imo, but that would probably be too expensive

 

Then again, seeing as how F2 is likely to top F1 at the box office, and with various Arendelle themed lands coming to Disney’s theme parks throughout the 2020s, I wouldn’t be surprised if F3 happens somewhere in the mid/late 2020s tbh, just to keep the brand fresh

[John Marston]

Frozen 3 is guaranteed.

Gotta make room for those four marvel movies that we’re going to get a year. 😂

Agreed. It was so nutty to go from “Oh, Frozen is getting a nice holiday bump” to “Holy smokes, it’s going to return to #1” (and almost did a weekend beforehand)  to “legit phenomenon.”

[Curtis1986]

 This might sound crazy but could Disney Plus be a harm to the box office as well. I can definitely see family staying at home in the Comforts of their own living room watching Disney Classics versus going out to a crowded theater. 

[AN9815]

I really liked Frozen 2. I was never a huge fan of the first but I feel like they improved on this second one (the opposite thing happened with Ralph franchise). I didn't like the soundtrack at the beginning but the more I listen to it the more I like it (Into the Unknown is actually my least favorite). It deserves all the money is making. I think it will do around $125-140m OW / $450-480m DOM / $1.3b-1.5b WW which is pretty amazing when you consider the last one almost made $1.3b WW and it will be the 6th billion dollar movie  and the third highest for Disney of 2019 behind Lion King and Endgame (don't think The Rise of Skywalker has any chance of topping Frozen 2 WW).

[Noctis]

I still think people should wait until Saturday's number. It's increased massively in OS markets so the same might happen in the US.

[Cmasterclay]

It's a Saturday in November during a holiday week folks. Going to be a real nice increase today IMO. 

 

Beautiful Day needs to leg it out to at least 50m domestic. 21 Bridges marketing was everyyyyywhere here, a high concept action movie with star power and big marketing should be able to do 15m+ OW, very bad number for that.
