Incredibles 2 Is Making Avengers Money At The Box Office

The Parr family member just pulled off a incredible feat at the box office. According to Variety, Incredibles 2 is on track to score a historic starting weekend with an estimated $182 million.


It's the highest initial weekend for an animated flick ever, besting Finding Dory's 2016 haul of $135 million. Considering that fans have been waiting 14 years for this, it wouldn't be all that surprising if the film's weekend box office keeps it up and continues to climb.


That super-heroic efficiency also puts the Incredibles sequel on par with the Herculean numbers of real-life superheroes like Captain America (Civil War) and Batman (The Dark Knight Rises).


Incredibles 2 picks up right where the initial film (released in 2004) ended, with Bob Parr (Craig T. Nelson) hanging up his cape to take care of the kids while his partner Helen (Holly Hunter) — known by her super tweak ego Elastigirl — comprises of the superhero mantle for a new initiative funded by telecommunications entrepreneur Winston Deavor. Their mission? To change the public perception of Supers and bring them back inside the spotlight. Needless to say there's a nefarious villain set on dragging their reputation by way of the mud.
