Frozen 2 Has Become the Highest Grossing Animated Film of All Time

Frozen 2 was up for best animated movie of 2019 at this past Sunday’s Golden Globes. It lost out to Missing Link, which was also a great movie, but I really thought Frozen 2 was going to take it. My family enjoyed it even more than the first Frozen, which I think is a pretty rare accomplishment to achieve with a sequel. As it turns out, my opinion is widely shared, as Frozen 2 just became the highest grossing animated feature of all time.

According to Variety, “the sequel has generated $1.325 billion at the global box office, pushing past Frozen ($1.281 million).” It was also the third biggest film of 2019, behind Avengers: Endgame and The Lion King. It also set the November record for highest grossing animated film for the month, and became “the first animated title outside of summer to surpass triple digits in its first weekend. The movie also set a new pinnacle for the Thanksgiving box office, earning $123 million over the five-day holiday frame.”

So there you have it. It’s an impressive number that Frozen 2 absolutely deserves, and will hold onto until the next great animated movie comes along.
