Released in the United States, The Incredibles 2 has just collected $ 180 million in one weekend. Best start for an animated film.
Disney-Pixar sets a new record! In just two days, their new film pocketed $231.5 million internationally and $180 million in the United States alone. This great success allows the Incredibles 2 to taste the best start for an animated film. It thus dethrones Finding Dory, another highly anticipated sequel and which, in 2016, had brought in $ 135.1 million during its first weekend.
The Incredibles 2 is also positioned as the 8th best movie debut in the United States, just ahead of Beauty and the Beast which had amassed $ 174.6 million. And this performance is not over! The film has not yet been released in many countries.
A long-awaited release
Since the release of the first film, fans have been eagerly hoping for a sequel to the adventures of the Paar family. Evoked in September 2015 by its director Brad Bird, the second part of what is now a saga has been long overdue… It is 14 years later that The Incredibles 2 finally arrives on our screens and following a major communication campaign that has only increased the impatience of spectators.
In France, it will be necessary to wait until July 4 to see the famous family of superheroes on the big screen. It remains to be seen if the Paar will be as well received as across the Atlantic…
