‘Incredibles 2’ crosses $1 billion mark at box office

The acclaimed Pixar sequel Incredibles 2 has passed $1 billion (Dh3.67 billion) in worldwide ticket sales, making it Disney’s third film this year to cross the box office milestone.

Disney said on Tuesday that Brad Bird’s summer blockbuster reached $1 billion on Monday, about six weeks after debuting with $182.7 million at North American theatres. That opening set a new record for animated releases, and Incredibles 2 has steadily climbed the history books.

Not accounting for inflation, its domestic haul of $574 million ranks as the ninth biggest North American gross of all-time.
