The Not-Very-Nice Little Witch That Could keeps enchanting audiences around the globe, as Disney’s ‘Maleficent‘ crossed the $700 million mark in global box office, Disney distribution execs said. It’s the studio’s second 2014 release to cross that high mark (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, box office champ for the first half of 2014, is the other).

 

Since its U.S. release on May 30, the film has tallied $228.8M domestically. Overseas, it has been extremely strong, no doubt helped by star Angelina Jolie‘s global visibility and appeal. The overall international gross has hit $471.8M so far, with big numbers out of China, Mexico, Russia and Brazil. Japan, which has a habit of keeping late-arriving Disney films in theaters for many lucrative weeks (see what happened with Frozen earlier in the year before Maleficent dethroned it), just debuted the film on July 5. Since then, it’s been No. 1 for three straight weekends, pulling in $32.7M already.

 

The studio said Maleficent is the year’s highest-grossing film based on an original story, (though some may quibble, given the film’s roots in Disney animated classic Sleeping Beauty). It’s also Jolie’s highest-grossing live-action film ever, whether measured by domestic, international and global box office.

It's the only movie that wasn't a sequel or superhero movie to gross so much this year. Congrats Angelina and Disney  :)

slay a bit Angie :giggle:

impressive how much movies can gross just for being Disney :giggle:

 

Of course Disney can be given some of the credit, especially for the family demographic. But I think Angelina played more of a role in selling this movie than anything. Her star power is unrivaled, and the entire world cherishes her. If not for her, this movie wouldn't have grossed nearly as much money

Angelina made the movie tbh, some critics say that if it weren't for her acting the movie would've fall flat :giggle:

Agreed. It would have had difficulty making even half the gross it did with her
