Walt Disney’s FROZEN is officially the ninth most successful film in history, according to data just released. The film, which features the belting track ‘Let It Go’ has overtaken THE DARK KNIGHT RISES in the chart with a massive $1.09 billion in receipts, with the DVD and Blu-Ray still selling like hot-cakes. The film, which incidentally is the biggest animated movie of all time, is just behind SKYFALL, and is expected to overtake that this week.
FROZEN has been a massive movie for The Mouse House, and it signals that there is a huge market for these movies. A sequel is surely on the cards, right? You’d think so, but Disney are very protective over their more traditionally themed movies, with many sequels that do get made going direct-to-DVD.
Here’s how the official worldwide top ten currently stands, AVATAR still very much at the top, a film that will take some beating.
1) Avatar ($2.782b)
2) Titanic ($2.186b)
3) The Avengers ($1.518b)
4) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 ($1.341b)
5) Iron Man 3 ($1.215b)
6) Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($1.123b)
7) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.119b)
8) Skyfall ($1.108b)
9) Frozen ($1.097b)
10) The Dark Knight Rises ($1.084b)
