Published on November 25, 2019, Disney's new release 'Frozen 2' made a significant impact on North American box offices, taking in an estimated $127 million (approximately Sh13 billion) over the weekend, according to Exhibitor Relations.
The film, which follows the beloved characters from the 2013 hit 'Frozen,' as they travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest in search of the origin of Queen Elsa's magical ice powers, set a November record for an animated movie and secured the third-best start for an animated film behind fellow Disney titles 'Incredibles 2' (2018) and 'Finding Dory' (2016), as reported by Variety.
In second place was last week's leader, 'Ford v Ferrari,' with an estimated $16 million (approximately Sh1.63 billion). The Fox film is based on the true story of how a team at Ford built a car to challenge Ferrari's long-time dominance of France's classic 24-hour Le Mans race.
Other notable releases included 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood,' a drama about a journalist's relationship with beloved television star Fred Rogers, which debuted in third place with an estimated $13.5 million (approximately Sh1.4 billion), and '21 Bridges,' a thriller starring Chadwick Boseman as an NYPD detective who shuts down all 21 of Manhattan's bridges to find two suspected cop killers, which opened at fourth with an estimated $9.2 million (approximately Sh936.5 million).
