Incredible.
That’s the only way to describe what Disney-Pixar’s 14-year-old-in-the-making superhero sequel did to the domestic and worldwide box office this weekend. Early estimates had predicted an opening weekend between $160 and $170 million (up from the original conservative estimate of $140M), which still would’ve been enough to overtake 2016’s Finding Dory ($135M) for highest opening ever for an animated film.
However, comScore today announced the official worldwide weekend box office estimates for the weekend of June 17, 2018, as compiled by the company’s theatrical measurement services.
comScore’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, “Disney had an incredible weekend with Pixar’s Incredibles 2 smashing records and pleasing audiences around the world with highest animation debut of all time with $180 million in North America as it added another $51.5 million in 25 territories for a total global debut of $231.5 million.
