On the same day it won two Academy Awards, “Frozen,” crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The biggest non-sequel animated film ever released and the second biggest animated film of all time globally, “Frozen” has earned an estimated $388.8 million at the domestic box office and $611.5 million internationally for a global total of $1,000.3 million. It is The Walt Disney Studios’ seventh release to reach the $1 billion mark, joining “Marvel’s The Avengers” and “Iron Man 3,” Disney’s second and fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, Disney•Pixar’s “Toy Story 3,” and Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland.”

“With ‘Frozen,’ we knew we had something truly special on our hands, and it has connected with fans and film-goers around the world in a way we only dreamed was possible,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “Animation is the cornerstone of our company, and thanks to the vision, dedication, and talent of our tremendous cast and filmmaking team, Disney Animation has come roaring back with a new classic for fans of all ages.”

“Frozen” is the winner of two Academy Awards, for Best Animated Feature and Original Song (“Let It Go”). This the first animated feature Oscar win for Walt Disney Animation Studios in the category’s 13-year history. The film has also won Golden Globe, BAFTA, Critics’ Choice, and Producers Guild of America awards for best animated film, five Annie Awards, and four Visual Effects Society Awards, among many other honors.


“Frozen” has stayed in the top 10 films at the domestic box office for all 14 weeks of its wide release, the longest run by any movie in four years.

Internationally, “Frozen” is the biggest animated film released by The Walt Disney Studios in more than 25 territories. In Korea, “Frozen” was #1 for the first five weeks of release and is now the biggest animated film, the second biggest non-local film, and Disney’s biggest release of all time. It’s also the highest-grossing animated film of all time in Denmark and Venezuela, and the biggest non-sequel animated film in the U.K./Ireland. “Frozen” debuts in one remaining international territory, Japan, on March 14.

The“Frozen” soundtrack, featuring songs by Tony Award winner Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez and a score by Christophe Beck, returned to the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart last week for a 5th time, the first soundtrack to do so since 1998. It also hit #1 on iTunes’ Overall Album Chart in 31 countries including the U.S. The Oscar-winning song “Let It Go,” performed by Tony Award winner Idina Menzel, who voices Elsa in the film, is also certified Platinum and last week reached #18 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

Don’t forget “Frozen” can be yours on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD & On Demand on March 18.
