Ok, the latest update...
Box Office Mojo reports that Frozen will come in #8 with $5.86 Million in it's 13th week domestic and $18.2 Million foreign. It now totals $955.7 Million and is on track to break $1 Billion.
It is also the biggest original animated movie ever. (Not counting reruns and sequels.)

Below from Deadline Hollywood:

"Sunday, 9:34 AM: Disneys animated family film Frozen, still in the Top 10 domestically after 13 weeks of play, is nearing its billion-dollar worldwide mark as it just passed Shrek 2 this week to become the 3rd highest grossing animated release of all-time (based on original runs and not including re-issues) and highest-grossing, original animated release of all-time. It took in an estimated $18.2M this weekend to raise its international cume to $579.9M. When you add that to its domestic take, it is at $955.7M worldwide and is continuing to play. Frozen is in its 12th weekend internationally in 40 markets representing about 95% of its run. Its best performing territories have been Korea with $66.4M and the U.K. with $60.9M to date. Its been No. 1 in Korea for five weeks in a row and is only behind Avatar and Transformers in the country as the biggest foreign release ever. In China, it is holding superbly, dropping a mere 3% and is already the second-biggest Disney/Pixar release there. Will it get to $1B? If it continues to pull in these kind of numbers combined $24.1M this weekend from U.S. and international markets it will likely end up there at the end of its run."
This totally makes up for the Oscar gaffes.

Walt Disney Co. (DIS:US)s animated picture Frozen has become Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN:US)s best-ever selling kids movie, the online retailer said today.
The film is No. 1 in both DVD/Blu-ray disc sales and digital downloads, Stacey Keller, a spokeswoman for Seattle-based Amazon, said in an e-mail. The sales include advance orders which, for the DVD versions, began on Nov. 27.
Disneys two-disc Blu-ray and DVD pack sells for $19.96 on Amazon.com, while the digital download costs $14.99 for the standard version and $19.99 for the high-definition version through Amazon Instant Video. The Blu-ray and DVD versions were released yesterday, according to Disney.
Many of the buyers have already seen the movie and want to watch it over and over again with their kids, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst for the research firm Rentrak Corp. This film is unstoppable.
Disney, based in Burbank, California, made Frozen available for digital download on Apple Inc.s iTunes store as part of the introduction of its Disney Movies Anywhere application on Feb. 25. The movie was first available for advance ordering on iTunes when it opened in wide release in November, according to Christine Monaghan, an Apple spokeswoman.
Box Office
Bob Iger, Disneys chairman and chief executive officer, said yesterday at the companys annual shareholder meeting that Frozen would pass the companys own Toy Story 3 to become the top-grossing animated film of all time. The movie has taken in $1.03 billion worldwide since its Nov. 22 release, according to researcher Box Office Mojo.
Amazons sales of the film were first reported by the Wrap.com.
Disney fell 1.8 percent to $80.52 at the close in New York. The stock has risen 5.4 percent this year.

Animated Hit Breaks Digital Record
Interest in Disneys Frozen isnt showing any sign of unthawing.
The animated hit sold 3.2 million Blu-ray and DVD discs in its first day of release, the studio said Wednesday. That figure includes pre-sales, and puts it on track to become one of the biggest sellers on homevideo in a decade.
Walt Disney Animations Oscar-winning film already had become the fastest-selling digital release of all time when it bowed on Digital HD and Digital 3D on Feb. 25.
That includes on Amazon where the retailer said the film was the bestselling kids movie of all time on disc, besting Universals Despicable Me.
Frozen was released on traditional homevideo formats on March 18.
The strong sales on homevideo come as the Frozen soundtrack topped the Billboard 200 chart for a sixth consecutive week. Its sold over 1.4 million units in the U.S, with Idina Menzels Let It Go, moving more than 1.7 million copies.
Frozen has now earned $1.032 billion at the global box office and is the 13th highest grossing film ever released. It has remained in the top 10 at the domestic box office for all 16 weekends of its wide release, the longest run by any film since 2002.
Last weekend, Frozen debuted at #1 in Japan with $9.6 million, the biggest opening ever for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film in the territory.
Frozen dropped out of the top 10 for the first time this weekend, but is still 13th AFTER the home video release! That is pretty durn good! It held well in Japan and moved up to 12th on the all time list above On Stranger Tides.
BoxOfficeMojo said: "Frozen held first place in Japan with $8 million ($28.9 million total). Sometime this weekend, Frozen passed Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides to move in to 12th place on the all-time worldwide chart. The movie has now earned $1.05 billion total, and is poised to pass Toy Story 3 ($1.063 billion) in the next week or so."
It is expected to finish over $400 Million domestic and somewhere close to $1.1 Billion worldwide. The only other question: When will Disney do a special re-release.
Why are Frozen's international takes so low? It has only done about $56m so far when it should be more around like $260m! Did Disney have a limited release outside the US or something?
At this pace it might barely beat Planes in total take. However, once you subtract the 150 million it cost to make it, it won't be a very successful (monetarily) movie overall.
Please tell me that it just had a delayed release internationally. I can't imagine that the story isn't selling well abroad. Or can it be that the cold theme just not clicking with people in the winter?
