Quigley Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) I hope this singalong will finally make BOM update Frozen's total. To be fair, they did update it relatively recently... By the way, what is impressive about Frozen is that three countries are the ones that made it into what it is: North America, Japan and South Korea. There's nothing exceptional about it in any other country. Pretty much like Toy Story 3 (NA, Japan, UK) - although Mexico was equally exceptional I guess.

Yes, but it's worth mentioning and not forgetting Frozen had really strong business for a non-sequel animated movie in the rest of the markets. If you exclude Japan and South Korea numbers it's still the biggest non-sequel animated movie in overseas markets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you exclude Japan and South Korea numbers it's still the biggest non-sequel animated movie in overseas markets. Yeah I was going to mention something similar. I might add that Individual markets producing mind-blowing numbers is nice, and essential to become mega-hit movies but I think the collective performance worldwide is much more telling. To my knowledge there weren't many markets in which frozen bombed and it performed very well in the majority of them. It was the highest grossing movie of 2013 in france and 3rd &4th respectively in the UK and Germany as an example. Those kinds of numbers all add up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yesterday Frozen Sing-A-Long was #5. After almost a year Frozen made it to the Top 5 on Sunday (I think it will be 6th or 7th for the weekend) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you exclude Japan and South Korea numbers it's still the biggest non-sequel animated movie in overseas markets. You have a point, but I mean, it could have earned $320M in NA (higher than Lion King), $130 in Japan (higher than TS3) and $50M in South Korea (best animated film). All these grosses would still be very impressive, but it wouldn't have surpassed TS3 WW. (it would have made $1050M) What I mean is that these three territories are the ones that took it the next level. All other countries were very impressive but nothing record-breakingly awesome. Besides, if your criterion is non-sequel animated films, it only needed $988M to achieve that (to beat Lion King). That means $311M in NA (less than Lion King), $90M in Japan (less than MonstersU) and $40M in SK (less than Kung Fu Panda 2) would have been enough.

Melvin Frohike Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 To my knowledge there weren't many markets in which frozen bombed and it performed very well in the majority of them. That's right, Frozen was very consistent in this way. I think that it only outright bombed in India, and it didn't do so hot in Israel either, but other than those it was anything from solid to a big hit, even outside of North America, Japan, and South Korea, and yes that does add up.

This was not Avatar, which broke all-time records in most of its markets. But it finally surpassed Finding Nemo's $530m for the non-sequel record. Ice Age 5 is not going to outgross this, and honestly I think no animated movie will surpass Frozen worldwide in a lot of years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that if/when something does pass frozen it's something that's worthy of doing it and not something life ice age 5 I really don't see the title of original animated film being relinquished any time soon though.
