Do you remember that miserable, terrible, no good "What were they thinking" live-action remake of the Lion King?
....yep. That one. $543m domestic, and $1.66b total.
It's almost like Disney has influence on how these things are reported, and by making Lion King NOT ANIMATED,* was able to make Frozen 2 the highest grossing animated film.
The Mouse has powers that we mortals cannot even fathom.
*In fairness, I'd just say it was the highest grossing "OH GOD IT'S SO CREEPY I NEED TO TEAR OUT MY EYES" film.
So, a little tidbit caught my eye.
Right now Rise of Skywalker is at $451 million or so gross, with a very disappointing China (very, I mean, Star Wars in general has flamed out there, but ... sheesh).
This means that it is well behind both TFA and TLJ in terms of both 18-day totals, and will likely finish a distant third in box office for the new trilogy. Oops.
Meanwhile, Frozen 2, which was greeted by a universal, "Eh, not too bad, but whatever ..." is the top grossing animated film ... OF ALL TIME. I mean, woah. Already.
I would never, in a million years, have guessed that. A few years ago, I used to follow this more closely ... but I had no idea. The Lion King? Really?
I had no idea that it was the #2 movie. None. I was truly and genuinely shocked.
Aren't you?
