If you even remotely paid attention to the pop culture world in 2013, odds are that you saw quite a lot about Disney’s Frozen. The animated film completely blew audiences away at the box office, with its lovable characters and absurdly-catchy songs becoming part of our public consciousness. Next month, the story of Elsa and Anna will continue in Frozen 2 — and it sounds like it’ll do pretty well at the box office. A new report from Deadline claims that the film could make $100 million at the box office in its November 22nd opening weekend.
While Frozen 2 opens a full weekend before Thanksgiving, it’s safe to assume that the film will do well, as its predecessor holds the five-day opening record for that holiday with $93.5 million.
The highly-anticipated sequel will take Elsa, Anna, and their friends on a whole new journey, as they venture into an ancient land to find the origin of Elsa’s powers.
“You know I can’t tell you anything, Disney is so tight-lipped about it. What can I say? I have seen parts of it, because when we record we see things, I haven’t seen the whole thing, but I’ve obviously read the script. It is not ‘Episode II’ of Frozen,” Bell said at San Diego Comic-Con. “It is a story that we waited a long time so that it would reveal itself to the creators. What is the next progression in these characters’ lives that needs to be told? Not just like, ‘What’s another storyline we could do?’”
“It’ll still be appropriate for kids and kids will still love it, but these girls have grown up as well a little bit,” Bell continued. “I think the original fans of Frozen, who were little girls and now might not think it’s for them, will be pleasantly surprised.”
