Overview

  • The live-action remake has reached a global total of $994.9 million with $414.6 million domestically and $580.3 million from international markets.
  • It is on track to surpass $1 billion worldwide by Wednesday, which would make it the first release of 2025 to hit the milestone.
  • With roughly $8 million left to overtake A Minecraft Movie, it remains the year’s second-highest domestic earner so far.
  • The film has vaulted into Disney’s top 30 highest-grossing titles worldwide by eclipsing The Lion King’s $988 million and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest’s $960 million.
  • After nearly two months in release, it finished its eighth weekend in North America’s top ten, driven by strong family turnout and word-of-mouth.
