Disney-Pixar’s Incredibles 2 opened at the US box office with a record-breaking $180 million this weekend, the biggest ever for an animated movie. Solo: A Star Wars Story came in fourth place with just over $9 million on its fourth weekend on release, taking its US total to $192.8 million.
The highly-anticipated superhero sequel, which doesn’t open in the UK until 13 July, stole the crown from Disney-Pixar animation Finding Dory, which took $135m in its opening and held the record since 2016.
Including international markets, the movie grossed a total of $231.5m – a monumental opening barrage for the studio’s 20th release.
