Disney's Live Action Remakes Ranked Based on Their International Box Office Earnings (& 4 Movies Grossed More Than $1 Billion!)

Disney’s live action movies are huge money makers!

From the ’90s to today, Disney has released 17 live action movies, and there are so many more on the way.

The latest is The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey. According to Deadline, the movie brought in $117.5 million domestically and $163.8 million globally in its opening weekend.

The movie’s box office was at the center of some controversy ahead of its premiere. Why? Aladdin star Mena Massoud made some comments comparing the unreleased movie to the one he starred in.

In particular, he implied that The Little Mermaid wouldn’t make more than $1 billion at the global box office like Aladdin did.

That got us wondering if Aladdin was the top-earning live action movie at Disney. We did some digging and compared how much money each movie brought in internationally. You might be surprised to learn that four of the movies have grossed over one billion dollars. But does Aladdin come out on top?

Hathaway is playing the White Queen, a benevolent monarch who is deposed and banished by her sister, the Red Queen (Carter), who has an affinity for crying out, “Off with their heads!”
