Frozen Tops Weekend Box Office, Catching Fire Surpasses $830 Million WorldWide

Disney’s Frozen made it’s way back to the top of the North American box office this past weekend, edging out the latest film in the Paranormal Activity franchise, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. Frozen has now made just under $640 million worldwide, pushing it past Tangled’s ultimate gross of $592 million.  It’s domestic total in its sixth weekend, $297 million, puts in it third place for top grossing movies in six weeks, right behind Avatar and Titanic.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug came in third place with a weekend total of $16.3 million and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire maintained a spot in the top ten, coming in ninth with a weekend haul of $7.4 million.  Catching Fire‘s domestic gross has now reached just over $407 million, about $500k shy of meeting the first film’s total domestic gross, which it is almost certain to exceed.  Its worldwide total is now at $830 million, which is over $130 million more than the first film, and just $170 million shy of one billion dollars–a mark that some predicted the film would reach.
