FROZEN warms up to first place for the weekend
|
Disney Animation’s FROZEN passed THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE to take the weekend box office crown. In a very distant third was the one new movie of the weekend OUT OF THE FURNACE. Disney then capured the fourth and fifth spots with THOR: THE DARK WORLD and DELIVERY MAN. |
|
FROZEN became the sixth animated movie in 2013 to pass the $100 million mark. It may even become the third to pass $200 million. Next year Pixar won’t be in the competition as they’ve postponed THE GOOD DINOSAUR’s release until 2015. |
