FBox Office Mojo stopped updating its main total for Frozen in August 2014, while it was still in release. The total listed here incorporates subsequent earnings in Japan, Nigeria, Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany up to the end of 2015 but omits earnings in Turkey, Iceland, Brazil, and Australia (2016), which amount to a few hundred thousand dollars. The total is rounded to $1 million to compensate for the numerical inaccuracy. It was re-released in the United Kingdom in December 2017 with Olaf's Frozen Adventure earning an additional $2.3 million.

Biggest worldwide openings on record for fantasy films Edit

This list charts films the biggest worldwide openings. Since films do not open on Fridays in many markets, the 'opening' is taken to be the gross between the first day of release and the first Sunday following the movie's release. Figures prior to the year 2002 are not available.

Since many American films do not open in all markets at the same time, the 'opening' gross varies depending on when it was released in the US-Canada market. For example, for films like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 which opened in the US-Canada market and in most other major markets during the same weekend, the 'opening' is the total gross of the film during that weekend. On the other hand, for films which opened in several markets a week ahead of their respective releases in the US-Canada market, the 'opening' is the sum of the opening grosses in the markets where they were released first and the opening in the US-Canada market. In the latter case, the opening grosses from territories after the initial overseas opening are not included in the 'opening' of the film. In all cases, if a film opens in a market after its release in the US-Canada market, that opening is not included in the 'opening' of the film.

Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie Mugen Train 503 063 688 2020 21 FBox Office Mojo stopped updating its main total for Frozen in August 2014 while it was still in release The total listed here incorporates subsequent earnings in Japan Nigeria Spain the United Kingdom and Germany up to the end of 2015 but omits earnings in Turkey Iceland Brazil and Australia 2016 which amount to a few hundred thousand dollars The total is rounded to 1 million to compensate for the numerical inaccuracy It was re released in the United Kingdom in December 2017 with Olaf s Frozen Adventure earning an additional 2 3 million Biggest worldwide openings on record for fantasy films EditThis list charts films the biggest worldwide openings Since films do not open on Fridays in many markets the opening is taken to be the gross between the first day of release and the first Sunday following the movie s release Figures prior to the year 2002 are not available Since many American films do not open in all markets at the same time the opening gross varies depending on when it was released in the US Canada market For example for films like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 which opened in the US Canada market and in most other major markets during the same weekend the opening is the total gross of the film during that weekend On the other hand for films which opened in several markets a week ahead of their respective releases in the US Canada market the opening is the sum of the opening grosses in the markets where they were released first and the opening in the US Canada market In the latter case the opening grosses from territories after the initial overseas opening are not included in the opening of the film In all cases if a film opens in a market after its release in the US Canada market that opening is not included in the opening of the film Rank Film Year Opening USD 22 1 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 2011 483 189 4272 Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 2009
