Beauty and the Beast has now become the top-grossing domestic PG film of all time. Disney had to actually best itself, as Finding Dory was the previous record holder with a domestic haul of $486.3 million and a worldwide total of $1.03 billion. Beauty and the Beast has bested it in both regards, bringing in a domestic total of $487.7 million and a worldwide total of $1.19 billion. Disney seems to always be competing with itself, and to earn the top spot on the worldwide PG list it will have to beat Frozen, which currently sits at number one with $1.28 billion.
Beauty and the Beast is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.
