Frozenhas held the record for the highest grossing animated film for nearly six years,New Folder (2014) but now it's going to have to let it go. (Sorry.)
The Lion Kinghas surpassed the long-ruling princesses of Arendelle, hitting a global box office of $1.334 billion as of Aug. 11 after opening in Japan -- which puts it above Frozen's $1.276 billion, according to BoxOfficeMojo.
This year's "reimagining" of the beloved 1994 classic had a pretty lukewarm reception from critics, but the combination of 90s nostalgia and present-day Beyoncé seems to have worked better than distracting a mob of hyenas with an impromptu hula.
You could argue that its position atop the animated pile is a little tenuous given that it's part of Disney's slate of "live-action" remakes, but come on: "Photorealistic CGI" is still animation. Those are not real lions. (Sorry again.)
SEE ALSO: 'The Lion King' deepfake uses original movie to 'fix' the CGIAlso not in doubt: as well as becoming the 12th-highest grossing release ever, The 2019 Definitely Not Live-Action Lion Kinghas also overtaken 2017's Beauty and the Beastas the most successful of Disney's remakes.
Safe to say the House of Mouse is not going to be slowing down on the computer-generated magic any time soon -- no matter what you want to call it, it's working.
