The latest film from Pixar, "Incredibles 2", has just broken the historical box office record for an animated film in its first weekend of release in the United States, with a gross of 180 million dollars.
"Incredibles 2" has managed to surpass the 135 million dollars that "Finding Dory" achieved in its premiere two years ago, according to the figures provided by the website Box Office Mojo.
Furthermore, the sequel to "The Incredibles" has managed to place itself among the ten highest-grossing premieres in the history of films of any genre: specifically, it has climbed to eighth place, ahead of "Captain America: Civil War", which grossed 179.1 million dollars in its first weekend in US theaters, and "Beauty and the Beast", which generated 174.7 million dollars.
In the international market, "Incredibles 2" added another 51.5 million dollars last weekend, bringing the total worldwide gross to 231.5 million dollars. In Spain, its premiere is scheduled for next August 3.
The ranking of animated films that obtained the highest gross in US theaters on their opening weekend is now topped by "Incredibles 2" with the record figure of 180 million dollars. That's 45 million dollars more than the second film in the ranking, "Finding Dory", which, as noted, grossed 135 million on its premiere.
Third place is occupied by "Shrek the Third", with 121.6 million dollars, fourth is for "Minions" (115.7 million) and in fifth place appears "Toy Story 3" (110.3 million dollars).
