Incredibles 2 hits HUGE box office milestone – but it’s STILL not released in the UK

Even when adjusted for inflation, the new sequel – which arrived fourteen years after its predecessor – has managed to set a new franchise high.

According to CBR.com, the movie has thus far made $439.7 million domestically – far above The Incredibles’ total haul of $384.9 million.

This is after Incredibles 2 previously managed to win the titles for largest opening weekend ever for an animation, and largest Thursday night previews ever for an animation.

And with $45.5 million made in its third weekend, it seems far from finished quite yet.

This is all happening before the Disney and Pixar gem has even been released in the UK.

Patient fans have a little longer to wait: the film is finally out over here on July 13; almost a full month after the USA.

Elsewhere at the American box office this weekend, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom managed a second week at No1 – taking $60 million to bring its domestic total to $264.8 million and its global gross to $932.4 million.

Behind Incredibles 2 was, in third place, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, which outperformed expectations.

It earned $19 million to finish just ahead of Uncle Drew, which features NBA All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Shaquille O’Neal and took $15.5 million. Ocean’s 8 rounded out the Top 5.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is the next big release, due for unveiling this weekend.

As with Incredibles 2, however, British fans will have to wait longer: it won’t be out over here until August 8.

Speaking to USA Today, comScore analyst Paul Dergarabedian spoke about the recent influx of movies scoring big with pundits.

“The box office is on a major roll right now,” he beamed.

“This puts to bed any notion that the summer movie season has run its course. Audiences want to go out to the movie theatre during the summer season.”

Other big films on the horizon include Mission: Impossible 6 and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
