Box Office: ‘Encanto’ Eyeing $20-$30M Domestic Opening

Boxoffice Pro is one of the best sites for box office numbers and projections, and today, the site shared their long-range projection for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Encanto.

Per the site, Encanto’s box office is tracking to make a 3-day opening total of $20-$35M domestically. They also project the film’s domestic total to come to $75-$135M when the film ends its theatrical run. The film has a 30-day exclusive theatrical run before the film is made available to all Disney+ subscribers on December 24.

Now, it should be noted that these are long-range projections and updated projections are likely to be revealed in the coming weeks leading up to Encanto’s release, which will also include global projections.

Encanto will look to build up on the success of previous Disney Animation Studio films released during the Thanksgiving weekend. As actual Thanksgiving opening weekends go, Disney holds the top 7 all-time openings (and 10 of the top 11, if you include Pixar Animation Studios). It will also look to appeal to Latin demographic, similarly to Pixar’s Coco, which earned $72.9 million in its first five days over the same holiday in 2017.
