How Much Did Frozen 2 Make?
Disney’s new release “Frozen 2” iced out competitors to top North American box offices over the weekend, taking in $160.2 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said Monday.
The film follows the beloved characters from 2013 hit “Frozen,” as they travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest in search of the origin of Queen Elsa’s (voiced by Idina Menzel) magical ice powers.
“Frozen 2,” which has come out just in time for the winter holidays, set a November record for an animated movie and secured the third-best start for an animated film behind fellow Disney titles “Incredibles 2” (2018) and “Finding Dory” (2016), according to Variety.
