Frozen 2 breaks global box office record with $350m

Taking $350m worldwide in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates, Frozen 2 has broken the record for the highest-grossing weekend ever for an animated film globally.

The second chapter of the adventures of Elsa, Anna and Olaf is also the largest opening for any Walt Disney Animation Studios release.

It comes six years after the release of the first film, a box office sensation which spawned a flurry of merchandising, a Broadway musical, two Oscar wins and one of the decade’s biggest earworms in Menzel’s Let it Go.
