Also, the soundtrack has hit #1 on the Billboard chart.
Seeing as it hasn't been mentioned yet, Frozen made $1.9 million yesterday, enough to bring it's current domestic to $300 MILLION! It now joins a list of 7 animated films that have grossed over $300 million, and is only the 3rd Disney/Pixar film to accomplish the feat. It's next milestone is to take over Despicable Me 2 as the highest grossing animated release of 2013. I don't think anyone at Disney Animation Studios or just about anyone could have projected the success of this film, and the crazy fact is that it's still going strong. I have seen Frozen about 4 times in theaters, and with my mom having yet to see it, I'm probably going to see it once more.
And on a side note it's so refreshing to see a Disney song catch on this strong. People at my work place - who haven't even seen the movie yet! - are humming Let It Go on a daily basis. I bet this is how Disney fans felt in the 90s.
Link to metal cover please!That or "Do You Want to Build A Snowman". Though Let It Go seems to be the big hit- I've seen a ton of fan covers on youtube, including a metal one.
The metal really kicks in at about the 1 minute mark.
No fear it's not death metal or anything. It's more pop/metal. Style reminds me the the Darkness song I Believe in a Thing Called Love.I am quite terrified to touch that play button.
I doubt it can cross DM2 domestically, but it has a shot globally. I hope it does because DM2 was a huge letdown for me, while Frozen is my favorite. In any case case you are correct in that it caught WDC by surprise. I was at Disneyland in early December and there was very little merchandise for sale. I did see quite a few little Elsa's and Anna's running around tho.Seeing as it hasn't been mentioned yet, Frozen made $1.9 million yesterday, enough to bring it's current domestic to $300 MILLION!

Knowing Disney's obsession with merchandise sales, there has probably been a huge order and stocking of Frozen merchandise on the store shelves in the parks in response to the throngs throwing money at this film. DM2 was a let down for me as well, so a part of me really wants Frozen to surpass it. Though it's a sequel, so it's like comparing apples to oranges. Imagine how a Frozen sequel would do (I do not support a Frozen sequel at all btw, just speaking hypothetically).I doubt it can cross DM2 domestically, but it has a shot globally.

I read the synopsis and while I find it highly interesting, I don't know how Disney would adapt it to be more family friendly (unless they want it to remain a bleak, tragic tale). But in the right hands, this could be a great, at the very least, interesting film.I don't think a sequel for Frozen is needed either; however, the setting is rich enough that you could set other films in it. For example, I think Weaseltown (WESELTON!) would be perfectly suited for an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Shadow".
