It’s crossed the worldwide $1 billion mark!
Disney
On Sunday, Frozen officially became the highest grossing Walt Disney Animated Feature of all time, surpassing The Lion King with a worldwide gross of just over $1 billion to date — $388.8 million domestically and $611.5 million internationally.
The box office milestone arrives on the same weekend Frozen became the first Disney animated film to win an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, along with an Oscar for Best Original Song for the film's breakout hit ballad "Let It Go."
The only other animated film to gross more worldwide was Toy Story 3, from Pixar Animation Studios, which is owned by Disney but operates independently of Disney's in-house animation studio. But Frozen hasn't even opened yet in Japan, which could push the film's worldwide gross past Toy Story 3.
But when measuring the relative popularity of feature films, especially over the past 20 years, it's helpful to keep ticket price inflation in mind. And when taking that into account, The Lion King remains far and away Disney's most successful animated feature. It's essentially impossible to adjust foreign box office grosses, but according to Box Office Mojo, The Lion King made just over $600 million in the U.S. alone in 2013 dollars in its initial theatrical run — just under Frozen's international total today.
