Frozen cooled down Hunger Games: Catching Fire's dominance at the box office.

The heartwarming animated Disney film was the top choice among moviegoers this weekend and raked in $31.6 million during its second week in theaters.

Frozen is based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, The Snow Queen, and features the voices of Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad. Princess Anna (Bell) joins forces with mountain man Kristoff (Groff) as they try to locate her sister, Elsa (Menzel). Elsa's icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter. Gad is the very humorous and hapless snowman, Olaf.

Catching Fire was not far behind Frozen, earning $27 million and grossing $336.7 million domestically.

Out of the Furnace, starring Christian Bale, Casey Affleck and Zoë Saldana, debuted at No.3, taking home $5.3 million.
