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.
Incredibles 2 follows Disney’s Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War in reaching $1 billion this year. Disney releases account for exactly half of the 36 films to ever cross $1 billion globally.
