Disney's Aladdin Passes $800 Million at Global Box Office

Disney's live-action Aladdin continues to be movie magic at the box office. The Guy Ritchie-directed remake of Disney's animated classic has officially broken the $800 million mark worldwide, making it the third film in 2019 to cross that threshold.

As of the writing of this article, Aladdin is sitting at $810 million at the worldwide box office, the majority of that haul coming from international ticket sales. This puts the film currently in the number three position for the 2019 worldwide box office so far after second-place Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame in the top spot.

Aladdin, which stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud, and Naomi Scott is now considered to have a shot at passing the $900 million mark worldwide. At its current box office numbers, Aladdin is now the fourth-best Disney live-action adaptation, having passed Maleficent ($758.5 million) and is a bit behind The Jungle Book's third place $966 million. While Aladdin could overtake The Jungle Book, it's unlikely that it will unseat number two Alice in Wonderland ($1.02 billion) or number one, Beauty and the Beast ($1.2 billion).
