Disney Passes $4B In Global Box Office Led By Marvel Heroes, Fairy Tale Femmes

by Nancy Tartaglione  
November 16, 2014 8:56am

The Walt Disney Studios on Friday reached a new milestone, passing $4B at the global box office for the second time in its history. The first time was just last year, but that was on November 26, meaning Disney bested its speed to $4B by 12 days this year. The new tally of roughly $4.05B joins other 2014 records which include the studio getting to $2B internationally, on August 4, and $3B globally, on August 5, faster than any other year prior.

Disney’s box office in 2014 has been largely driven by four major titles, two of them hailing from the hit machine that is Marvel, and two firmly rooted in fairy tales — and with female protagonists to boot. Tops is Guardians Of The Galaxy. With $330M, it is the No. 1 film of the year domestically, and its global cume of $770.1M makes it the the No. 2 film worldwide. It recently hit its last markets including China where it topped out at about $96.5M. Also from Marvel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier had a fantastic tour of duty this spring with $259.8M domestically, making it the No. 2 film of the year. Its $714.7M worldwide gives it the No. 5 slot globally.

Angelina Jolie-starrer Maleficent holds the No. 2 spot internationally in 2014 with $516.8M. It’s the No. 3 film globally having conjured up $758M during its run which began in May. The juggernaut holdover that was Frozen earned $733M of its total $1.27B during this calendar year. Elsa & Co notably iced the competition in Japan where the movie made a staggering $249M and stayed at the top of the chart for 16 weeks — until Maleficent came in to steal the crown in July, that is.

In more recent news, Disney’s Big Hero 6 started rolling out internationally at the end of October and has now earned $148.M globally. It continues bowing through February and is the 85th title in the studio’s history to cross $100M (see my international box office report for more). Next up on Disney’s roster is the feature adaptation of Into The Woods starring Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp, Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine. It releases domestically on December 25 and rolls out elsewhere from there.

I knew Angelina Jolie was going to be good but I didn't know she was going to be THAT good! #maleficent

Before Angelina Jolie reinvented her as a misunderstood soul, Maleficent was best known as the wicked fairy godmother that crashes Princess Aurora’s christening in Disney’s animated classic Sleeping Beauty.

But the character did not always have the imperious and regal look she has in the 1959 film and the re-telling released earlier this year. In fact, animators at Walt Disney Studios had initially envisioned her as ugly and hag-like. It was animator Marc Davis who gave us the scarily elegant Maleficent we know today: It’s all about those suggestive-of-the-devil horns.

Yahoo Movies has an early version of the Maleficent’s uninvited entrance into King Stefan’s castle (above). Part of the bonus features from the forthcoming Diamond Edition Blu-ray combo pack of Sleeping Beauty, the clip uses original sketches of the classic villainess. Note the red, flowing vampire-like frock with what appear to be bats flying around her, and an unsightly, angular face with big droopy eyes.

And it’s not only the look of Maleficent that went through an evolution. Comparing this clip with the actual scene from the movie (below), you will also find that the early version starts out quite differently: Maleficent is shown to have more earthly qualities, lacking the ability to magically appear in the middle of the king’s court as she does in the finished film. Instead, she walks up to the castle and demands to a guard, “Announce me!”

The Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack is available on Oct. 7 and includes more never-before-seen extras like this one. Yes, a bunch of behind-the-scenes fussing went into making this Disney fairy tale classic.

Just watched maleficent with @ShonaBM 👍 Angelina Jolie, Shonas fav! ❤️

Watch: 5 Deleted Scenes From Angelina Jolie's Hit 'Maleficent' http://t.co/oAnVgJM8hI
— ThePlaylist (@ThePlaylist) September 22, 2014

Love it or hate it, Disney’s gritty “Sleeping Beauty” retread “Maleficent” was a monster hit for the studio, earning $240 million domestic, and raking in an impressive $750 million worldwide, which currently places it second in 2014 total box office, right behind “Transformers: How Do These Movies Keep Making More Money Than The GDP Of The Entire Continent of Africa”? And to keep the train rolling, "Maleficent" will hit Blu-ray, DVD and VOD on November 4, and Disney’s rolling out some of the special features early, as five deleted scenes were recently posted on the interwebs.
Most of the scenes are brief and consist of Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) bickering with her manservant Diaval (Sam Riley). An unfinished CGI crow effect at the end of one of these sequences is sure to satisfy fans of the craptastic cult favorite “Birdemic”. The longest scene, depicting Stefan (Sharlto Copley) lusting after the king’s crown, lacks the trademark Copley overacting. For that, you might want to check out his baffling batshit crazy performance in Spike Lee’s “Oldboy” remake, which is begging to become the next midnight movie craze. These deleted scenes will also be available on DVD and Blu-ray. Check 'em out below. [Comic Book Movie]

inflight movie this AM was Maleficent w/ Angelina Jolie...was so sweet...totally made me tear up. I like the alternative story it tells.

Aww guys I don't know why "Maleficent" got such backlash. It was actually pretty cute! (love the Once Upon a Dream version at the credits)
