‘Incredibles 2’ set to break more records
After a glut of lucrative box office juggernauts from its Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney is looking to break more records with “Incredibles 2,” the long-awaited return of a quirky animated superhero family. The film -- which comes out Friday, a full 14 years after “The Incredibles” -- looks set to score the highest debut ever for an animated film at the North American box office. Experts are predicting a $140 million-plus opening weekend for Brad Bird’s sequel to his own hugely popular original, which would surpass the $135 million debut of its Disney-Pixar stablemate, “Finding Dory” (2016). “For a very long time, people have been wanting this film,” Samuel L. Jackson, who returns as superhero Frozone, told reporters at last week’s glittering premiere in Hollywood.
