Oz: The Great and Powerful | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

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?

Michelle Williams and her daughter Matilda, 7, leave the children’s clothing store CrewCuts on Wednesday afternoon (March 6) in New York City.

Elsewhere in the Big Apple, the 32-year-old actress’ Oz the Great and Powerful co-star James Franco made an appearance on Good Morning America to promote the film, in theaters this Friday!

“Glinda can’t be omniscient because then she has no struggle,” Michelle recently told the L.A. Times about her character. “If she already knows everything about the situation, there’s nothing for her to discover.”

“Quadlings, Tinkers and Munchkins didn’t mean much to me; it wasn’t my language,” Michelle added about the groups of misfits her character benevolently rules over. “But when I thought of them as Native Americans trying to inhabit their land or about women getting the right to vote, it made a lot more sense.”

FYI: Michelle is carrying a Coach bag.
