China DailyA poster for the film Frozen II. According to Box Office Mojo and China's consulting firm EntGroup, the Disney new movie earned more in one weekend than "Frozen" grossed during its entire 2014 release in China. In fact, Anna and Elsa's charming sequel netted Disney its highest opening ever for an animated film and earned Frozen II the third highest animated film opening in China ever, giving rise to speculation that it might give China's highest grossing animated films, "Nezha" at $696 million and Disney's "Zootopia" at $236 million, a run for their money. The original Frozen's Academy Award-winning theme song, "Let it Go" by composers Robert Lopez and Kristin Anderson-Lopez, is a global megahit that is hugely popular in China as well, Horn said, it even influenced a song crafted for Beijing's Winter Olympics bid. Frozen II's music was well received about by most viewers, but it remains to be seen if the film will produce a breakout hit of the stature of "Let it Go".
