This will probably be the last news of this sort until Rio 2 releases, since animated films are not doing so good at the North American box office right now. So we'll be taking a 2-week break from this coming up here.

The highest-grossing animated film was Mr. Peabody and Sherman, which took in a respectable $9.5 million this weekend and placing 4th, behind holdovers Muppets Most Wanted and Divergent, and trailing behind 1st-place newcomer Noah. Given the competition, that's not too bad. To date, Mr. Peabdoy and Sherman has earned just shy of $95 million at the US box office and $197 million total worldwide.

The second highest-grossing animated film this weekend was The Lego Movie, which stood at 11th Place. That was to be expected, as many who wanted to see it have already seen it. The Lego Movie heaved in an extra $3.1 million, which brings its total to $248 million at the domestic box office. It may still be able to pass the $300 million mark, and since it's currently at $395 million worldwide, it'll have no trouble passing $500 million there - which potentially places it at the Top 10 highest-grossing films of 2014 when all is said and done. However, we will not know for sure until mid-2015 (since many blockbusters are released at the end of the year, and run for four to six months each), so that gives us over a year to know for sure. That being said, this is still doable.

Finally, Frozen finally puckered out its steam and gained about $350,000 at the domestic box office this weekend. It is now just $1.5 million shy of the $400 million mark - a feat which only 14 other films have accomplished. Frozen will pass the mark, thanks to dollar theaters and last-chance showings, but it may still take up to a month.

Worldwide, Frozen made a surprise jump and gained almost $25 million total. Most of this was from Japan, where Frozen's strong word-of-mouth has pushed movie-goers to give it a try. Thanks to this boost, Frozen passed Toy Story 3 to become the highest-grossing animated film in history. That's right: of all the animated films ever made, Frozen has now earned the most money - by quite a large margin of almost $10 million and rising. (This does not count for inflation.)

In addition to passing Toy Story 3, Frozen also passed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest to become the 10th highest-grossing film of all time, animated or not. It is the third highest-grossing original film (after Avatar and Titanic, which are the two highest-grossing films of all time), the third highest-grossing Disney film (after The Avengers and Iron Man 3, but outside of the Marvel franchise, it takes the cake), and the highest-grossing film with a female lead. Since its gigantic, unexpected boost this weekend, analysts are once again admitting that they're under-estimating Frozen's success, and now it is projected to come up with a final tally of anywhere between $1.1 and $1.2 billion. When all's said and done, Frozen could be anywhere from the 8th to 5th highest-grossing film of all time. It is still playing in most markets, and in cases like Japan, it's only garnering larger and larger audiences each weekend. Time will tell, but for now, consider Frozen to be one of the biggest films ever.
