The Incredibles 2 will likely hold several box office records before it finishes its run in theaters. It's already off to a strong start, grossing $18.5 million USD from Thursday night previews. By comparison, 2018's earlier big animated film, Isle of Dogs, opened to $560k USD and grossed a total of $31.6 million USD total. The Incredibles 2 will nearly triple that amount by weekend's end.
For a more fair comparison, Thursday's opening box office total surpasses last-year's Beauty and the Beast, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok. These three films all went on to gross at least $850 million, worldwide.

In The Incredibles 2, Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose superpowers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.
