A likely 130m+ shouldn't be taken as a failure lol but I was expecting mammoth numbers upfront. I've heard several people at work say their children have grown out of Frozen and even heard a group of teenage girls at the theater while getting tickets to Knives Out sneer at someone who suggested to watch it saying it's for children, eye roll.
A- Cinemascore for Frozen. I guess we'll see if that means anything.
That's what I'm saying, six years is enough time for kids to grow into pre-teens or teenagers and fully change their tastes. An 8 year old girl who wanted to be Anna for Halloween in 2014 is now 13 years old and listening to Billie Eilish and starting to learn to wear make-up from her older sister. She's not going to be into Frozen anymore. I feel like with this type of sequel you either have to strike within three years of the original, so that the kids who enjoyed the first are still in that age range (and the film itself also has to be a bit more mature), or you wait 10-15 years to appeal to a whole different generation of kids. Toy Story has the right idea in that sense.
