Frozen 2 is finally here, delighting fans and smashing box office records for Disney with the follow up to the wildly popular 2013 Frozen. While the return to Arendelle is one that fans are clearly enjoying — the film is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and boasts a 93 percent Audience Score as well — when it comes to hopes for a third installment of the story, however, fans might just want to let it go. There don’t appear to be any plans for a Frozen 3 at this point. According to producer Peter Del Vecho, they’ve told a complete story with Frozen and Frozen 2.

In an interview with CinemaBlend, Del Vecho explained that when it comes to the tale told between Frozen and Frozen 2, director Jennifer Lee put things together beautifully to the point that the story is complete, something that might not lend itself to a third installment.

 

“I think when we look at these two movies together, what I love about the is you’ve done an amazing job at weaving them,” Del Vecho said. “[They’re] one full story. So, now it feels like a complete journey.”

Lee added that while things are complete, though, she also can’t really rule anything out.

“It feels complete to me, but I don’t know,” Lee admitted. “Chris [Buck, co-director] says ask him in a year.”

 

When it comes to a third Frozen film, time really may tell the tale. While it certainly sounds like narratively there are no real plans for the story to continue beyond the sequel, the film is already crushing it at the box office. Frozen 2 earned $42 million on Friday, putting the film well on its way to a massive $127 million opening weekend. That number is enough to claim the biggest November opening weekend ever for an animated film. That success trumps the first Frozen’s five-day weekend opening on Thanksgiving in 2013 and numbers like that may be enough for Disney to consider a third chapter at some point in the future.
