At this rate, the sequel will have trouble replicating those results but it should remain the de facto choice for youngsters through the holiday season. The original "Sing," centering on a bevy of animals with killer pipes, also opened around Christmas and played in theaters well into the new year, ultimately grossing $270 million domestically and $634 million worldwide. Unless the pandemic has something to say, "Sing 2" should benefit from a long run on the big screen, especially since it doesn't have much competition among family films. The movie, directed by Garth Jennings and voiced by Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Nick Kroll and Bono, has been well received by audiences, who awarded it a coveted "A+" CinemaScore. However, it's not a bad result for a film targeted at parents with young kids at a time when family audiences have been especially wary about going to the movies. (That number is slightly inflated because it includes $1.6 million banked from advanced screenings over Thanksgiving weekend.) It's a softer start than its predecessor, 2016's "Sing," which had secured a three-day total of $35 million and five-day tally of $54.9 million. Universal and Illumination's animated musical "Sing 2" had the biggest start among new releases, debuting in second place with $23.7 million over the traditional weekend and $41 million since Wednesday. That tally is more than double the next highest-grossing movie in Disney and Marvel's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," which earned a mighty $224 million domestically.Īt the international box office, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" added $121.4 million over the weekend and has made $587 million to date, bringing its global revenues to $1.05 billion. It brings the film's ten-day total to a mammoth $467 million at the domestic box office.
