Disney's live-action adaptation of grossed nearly $175 million domestically and doubled that amount overseas for a remarkable global box office take of $350 million in its first weekend.

In less than a month as it expanded to more foreign territories, Beauty and the Beast crossed the $1 billion mark, ing the live-action Disney monolith Alice in Wonderland, which clocked out at $1.025.5 billion in 2010.

According to Frozen, which sits at No. 9 on the all-time global chart with $1.276.5 in ticket sales.

Including Beauty and the Beast, Disney is clearly the dominating force on the all-time box office charts as the studio behind 5 of the top 10 films. In addition to Beauty and Frozen, the Mouse House also produced the No. 3 blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.405.4 billion).

While Beauty and the Beast will at best have enough gas left to move past Frozen (with its Star Wars: The Last Jedi in December.

Obviously the return of the Skywalker family saga in 2015 with The Force Awakens captivated moviegoers and with the inclusion of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in the main narrative in The Last Jedi will certainly go a long way for the film to achieve its box office goals. Although there's also several live-action remakes of their animated classics on the way that could repeat Beauty's success, most probably The Lion King, which is a similar 1990s renaissance hit and has Jon Favreau, also behind The Jungle Book, directing.
