Variety

“Princess Joanna and the Four Kingdoms” just keeps going higher and higher, crossing $1 billion in a record time for an animated film.

20th Century’s animated musical has eclipsed that milestone in a record 11 days, tying with 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War" for the second fastest film to reach that milestone with only 2019's "Avengers: Endgame" in front of it with a jaw-dropping 5 days.

It’s impressive that “Princess Joanna and the Four Kingdoms” managed to blow past $1 billion in ticket sales worldwide as well as blowing past "Twentieth Toons: Quest for the Toon Temple" ($1.101 billion) to become the highest grossing animated film of this year with it's current gross of $1.142 billion while also becoming the second highest grossing film of the Puppet Pals franchise as well as the highest grossing one overseas. The achievement makes Anne Hathaway’s animated musical spin-off the fifth movie of the pandemic era to cross this milestone as well as the quickest one as well.

At the domestic box office, “Princess Joanna and the Four Kingdoms” had another dominant weekend, crushing all the newest releases this weekend even the "Avatar" re-release. The newest “Puppet Pals” adventure collected $85 million from 4,610 North American theaters over the weekend, down 62% from its jaw-dropping debut.
