‘Frozen 2’ Is Now the Highest-Grossing Animated Movie Ever1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIn a box office achievement fit for royalty, Disney’s Frozen 2 is officially the highest-grossing animated movie in history.
The sequel has generated $1.325 billion at the global box office, pushing past Frozen ($1.281 million) and Incredibles 2 ($1.243 million) to secure the top spot. Though Jon Favreau’s remake of The Lion King is entirely computer generated and earned $1.65 billion in 2019, Disney considers it a live-action reboot rather than an animated flick. Either way, the benchmark only solidifies Disney’s place as the preeminent force on all things animation — the studio is now responsible for the top three biggest cartooned movie of all time.
Frozen 2, a sequel to the 2013 musical sensation, was the third-biggest film of 2019 after Disney’s Avengers: Endgame ($2.79 billion) and The Lion King ($1.65 billion). In the U.S., Frozen 2 has collected $449 million and remained in the top five for an impressive seven weeks straight. Overseas, the family-friendly film brought in $875.4 million to date. Outside of North America, Frozen 2 amassed the biggest bounty in China ($118 million), followed by Japan ($103.8 million), Korea ($96.2 million) and the United Kingdom ($65 million)
