“Frozen II” to be a financial juggernaut for Disney
Sequels are lucrative for Disney; Andrew Stanton’s Finding Dory (2016) garnered more than a billion dollars at the box office, Brad Bird’s Incredibles 2 (2018) holds the top ever opening for an animated movie in North America, and Frozen II, Incredibles 2, and Josh Cooley’s Toy Story 4 (2019) are all in the top three Atom Tickets pre-sales for animated flicks.

Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee’s Frozen II (2019) is projected to be Disney’s sixth billion-dollar release of 2019; the studio has already earned more than eight billion dollars globally since January, breaking the record it set in 2016, according to CNBC. The film is estimated to make anywhere between a hundred twenty million and a hundred forty million its opening weekend, having already sold the most advance tickets on Atom Tickets of all time for an animated picture. Analysts say the coming-of-age sequel will pick up not long after its parent feature leaves off, with the cast of characters leaving Arendelle to save their kingdom.
