Anna and Elsa’s venture “Into the Unknown” turned out to be extremely lucrative. “Frozen II” netted $127 million domestically and $223.3 million abroad — $350.2 million total — in its opening weekend. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck’s film “opened well ahead of expectations, particularly overseas,” and scored the biggest global debut ever for an animated pic.

“Making a sequel to ‘Frozen’ was a high bar to set for yourself,” Disney distribution chief Cathleen Taff said. “The filmmakers did an outstanding job delivering this next chapter. It’s emotional and it has something for everyone.”

Per the source, the sequel to 2013’s “Frozen” — a smash hit itself — had the third-best domestic debut for an animated title, not adjusting for inflation. “Incredibles 2” and “Finding Dory” are in first and second place with launches of $182.7 million and $135.1 million, respectively. “Frozen II” is also the first animated feature to net over $100 million in a non-summer opening.

In the U.S., females comprised almost 60 percent of “Frozen II’s” audience. The Disney flick, like its predecessor, disproves two debunked-but-persistent show biz myths: women don’t go to the movies, and women-driven films don’t make money. “Frozen II’s” success proves — yet again — that female moviegoers are hungry for women’s stories and are willing to open their wallets for them.

On the global front, “Frozen II” nabbed the biggest opening for an animated feature in the U.K. ($17.8 million) and France ($13.4 million), and the best debut for a Pixar or Disney Animation film in China ($53 million), Japan ($18.2 million), Germany ($14.9 million), and Spain ($5.8 million). It became the “third-biggest industry opening of any movie in South Korea ($31.5 million),” THR says.

Penned by Lee, “Frozen II” sees Anna (Kristen Bell), Elsa (Idina Menzel), and the gang leaving Arendelle and exploring an enchanted, autumnal land, while also investigating the source of Elsa’s powers.

The original “Frozen,” also directed by Lee and Buck, earned over $1.2 billion globally, and became “the top-grossing animated film of all time, as well as one of the most successful musicals ever, not adjusted for inflation,” the source notes. With its $400.7 million domestic gross, it is one of the top-earning woman-directed pics ever. It seems likely that “Frozen II” will soon join these ranks as well.
