Encanto was a massive success for Disney, but not necessarily at the box office. Encanto 2 will easily top its earnings whenever it finally arrives.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Encanto was a huge success for Disney, but it didn’t necessarily light up the box office; when Encanto 2 finally arrives, it’ll surely top its predecessor’s commercial performance. Released in 2021, Encanto tells the delightfully relatable story of Mirabel, the only member of her family who doesn’t have a unique magical ability.
But Encanto wasn’t a big hit at the box office. It grossed just over $256 million , which is a respectable figure but not a blockbuster number. Its success came later on when it premiered on Disney+ and caught the attention of a larger streaming audience. Thanks to its success on the streaming service, Encanto has become one of Disney’s most iconic movies, and if and when it finally gets a sequel, that sequel should easily breeze past its predecessor’s box office figure.
Encanto's Original Box Office Is No Match For What Encanto 2 Will Make While the first Encanto was met with a lukewarm reception at the box office, Encanto 2 will blow it out of the water with a much bigger haul. Encanto is one of the biggest viewership hits in Disney+’s short but fraught history. The audience that the movie picked up in the streaming space is all but guaranteed to turn up to a movie theater and buy a ticket to see a sequel.
Disney has struggled at the box office in recent times with the commercial underperformance of Pixar’s Elemental, the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Returning Disney CEO Bob Iger is focusing on Disney properties that are guaranteed box office hits, like Toy Story 5, Frozen 3, and Zootopia 2. Encanto 2 should be added to that list, too. The original has become such a sensation that any sequel Disney makes is sure to become a blockbuster.
Encanto 2's Box Office Will Show The Benefit Of Disney Plus If Encanto 2 is a huge hit at the box office, then it’ll highlight the best way for the Mouse House to benefit from its streaming service. The potential success of Encanto 2 would be entirely attributed to the increased popularity the original movie found through Disney+. Disney+ gives Disney’s movies a second chance to find an audience.
