Los Angeles, January 9 - Yet another box office milestone is breached during the covid-19 pandemic era. Universal/Illumination's computer-animated musical comedy film, "Sing 2" has become the first animated movie to reach $100 million at the domestic box office (North America) since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic.

Directed by Garth Jennings, the sequel to the 2016 film "Sing" breached the $100 million mark on Saturday in just 17 days of its release. This also becomes the first animated film to pass $100 million domestic since Frozen II ($477 million from a $130 million debut) in November 2019. By the end of its 3rd weekend, "Sing 2" will likely stand at $107 million domestically.



Overseas, the Matthew McConaughey/Reese Witherspoon/Scarlett Johansson-led film has earned approx $68 million, pushing its worldwide box office total to $175 million. The 85M budgeted film was theatrically released in the United States on December 22, 2021. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics and moviegoers alike.

Like the previous film, Sing 2 features songs from many artists, most of which are performed diegetically. The story is set after the events of the previous film, where Buster Moon and his group put on a show in Redshore City while working to impress an entertainment mogul and enlist a reclusive rock star to perform.

Dinsey's musical fantasy comedy is the second-highest-grossing animated film in North America during the health crisis. It grossed $91.9 million domestically and $115.7 million overseas for worldwide box office total to $207.6 million. It is currently playing on Disney+ for its subscribers.
