‘Frozen’ Is Highest Animated Int’l Grosser Of All Time As Disney Reaches $1B In Record Pace
Based on the phenomenal grosses from Frozen and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Disney (which crossed $1BM worldwide earlier this month) now can boast that it crossed $1B internationally in record time. Frozen has just surpassed Ice Age 4 to become the worldwide leader as the highest-grossing animated film of all time in international markets with a total tally of $729.3M. In comparison, Ice Age: Continental Drift grossed $715.9M in 2012. In addition, Frozen is hovering at $400M domestically and should reach that watermark next weekend. It just skated across the $100M in Japan while Captain America 2 opened there as its final territory in its international run. Disney boasts the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in the country now with Frozen leading the way.
So far this year, the studio also commands the top two positions internationally of all films in the marketplace … Frozen is No. 1 with $462M and Captain America is $385.1M for the second spot. To show the dominance internationally, the No. three movie – The Wolf of Wall Street — is $122.6M behind the Cap.
Frozen has also become the No. 6-highest grosser of all time with $1.129B, besting Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King ($1.114B) and Transformers: Dark Side Of The Moon ($1.123B). It’s highest-grossing territory is by far Japan, where it has grossed $104.1M to date.

Even ‘Captain America’ Can't Stop ‘Frozen’ at Japan's Box Office
In its sixth week, Disney's animated blockbuster tops the opening of the superhero sequel and moves to No. 6 on all-time list
Even “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” couldn't thaw the grip of Disney's blockbuster “Frozen” in Japan.
Disney Animation's musical tale of sisters Anna and Elsa stayed on top for the sixth week in a row there with $7.5 million — topping the $2 million that the studio's Marvel superhero sequel opened with this weekend in Japan.
The country is the final, and has been by far the biggest, overseas market for “Frozen.” It's brought in more than $104 million there, ahead of the $76.9 million the film grossed in Korea.
“Frozen” is a phenomenon in Japan. Its drop this weekend was only 9 percent from last weekend's and it's played to almost the same numbers for its entire six-week run there.
Globally, “Frozen” hit $1.12 billion in grosses this weekend, making it the sixth-highest grossing movie of all time, passing “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King” ($1.11 billion) and “Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon” ($1.2 billion).
It's also become the highest-grossing international animated release of all time, passing “Ice Age 4.” In all, “Frozen” has brought in more than $729 million from overseas and nearly $400 million domestically.
