Box Office: 'Paradoria 2' is Tracking to Be Higher the First Film

Paradoria 2 is poised to be one of this year's biggest animated box office hits with a possibility of being one of the biggest animated films of all time, and its current projections are tracking higher than the first film. Steve Samono finally got his childhood dreams to life in 2015, which would be making his drawn pictures from his childhood into a full feature film. At one point, this project was initially a risk due to production troubles, but the results proved the gamble was well worth it. Not only did the first movie receive positive reviews (and even a little awards buzz), it was a commercial juggernaut - becoming the highest grossing non-sequel film by Universal Animation.

Obviously, Universal was quick to forge ahead on developing a franchise around Jamo and his girlfriend Princess Keena, with the sequel being already right around the corner. Despite Paradoria 2 's predecessor was released in a non-crowded December which was taken advantage of, this year's installment will be part of a slighty-crowded November release month. The studio has confidence in the tentpole to deliver the goods, and it looks like it definitely will.

Per  Box Office Pro, the long-range tracking for Paradoria 2 suggests it will earn an even $150–175 million in its first three days. In comparison, the first film grossed a then record-breaking $113 million in its debut, currently the biggest opening Based on the estimates,  Paradoria 2  could end its domestic run with a total of $500 million, a figure that's considerably bigger than the $411 million  Paradoria  pulled in. While that discrepancy is eye-catching, it isn't anything to worry about.

The first film sported a production budget of just $103 million, however the followup looks to have a much higher budget between $200 and $250 million which is on par with most modern Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar films. Despite this, a domestic total of $500 million in addition to whatever  Paradoria 2  makes internationally is more than enough to turn a tidy profit and ensure the continuation of the series. Even if the film falls short of expectations or even flops domestically, it'll be ok as most international audiences enjoyed the previous film so it'll be possible that they'll return once again for the sequel. As for why there's such a large gap between entries, it probably has something to do with the release window. Paradoria 2 comes out in a more crowded November as it's coming shortly 2 weeks after fellow animated fare  Frozen II, and a week after Terminator: Dark Fate, which are all targeting similar audiences. The interest in  Paradoria, is turning out to be more bigger than expected and can possibly outgross Incredibles 2 if the interest is big enough.
