Maleficent Is Fourth Highest-Grossing Film Sold On A Single Movie Star's Name

It was only a few months ago that analysts had, foolishly it would seem, branded Disney's live-action adventure 'Maleficent' as a flop, and that was even before it had been released in cinemas.

However, after a strong opening and consistent debut week and beyond, the stattos were left scratching their heads at the impressive $670 million it has made to date, from a $180 million budget.

But what's more impressive is that 'Maleficent' was, until Michael Bay's 'Transformers: Age of Extinction', the highest grossing non-superhero film of 2014, which was a heck of an achievement, considering it was predicted to flop upon its end of May release.

Impressively, 'Maleficent' can now boast as being the fourth highest-grossing film sold on a single movie star's name. And what does that mean? Well, it basically means films that were marketed with a single name on the poster and its advertising material. Angelina Jolie's name solely features on the posters, which qualifies the film.

This also means that Maleficent is the highest-grossing film sold on a female star's name. Angelina is the first woman to ever reach the top 5 of such list!

Plus, it's official:

'Maleficent' Crosses $700 Million Worldwide, Shining Jewel in Lackluster Summer

"Maleficent," which opened May 30, has topped $700 million worldwide, marking Jolie’s highest-grossing live action film of all time domestically, internationally and globally, as well as the highest grossing original film of 2014 worldwide.

"Maleficent" is the 15th release ever to reach the $700 million worldwide threshold. The film grossed $228.8 million through July 21, which means that the lion's share of its box office is international: $471.8 million through July 21, bolstered by China ($47.4 million), Mexico ($45.7 million), Russia ($37.5 million) and Brazil ($32.3 million), and Japan ($32.7 million) where the film opened July 5, holding the #1 spot for three weekends running.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Wrote Love Notes to Each Other While Filming Across the Globe

Angelina Jolie recently gave an interview with Australia’s TV Week where she chatted about her love Brad Pitt, war hero and subject of Unbroken Louis Zamperini, and more.

Here’s what the 39-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On the distance between her & Brad Pitt while filming Unbroken and Fury: “He was supportive from a distance and it was quite romantic in a way. We decided to be of that time when we could imagine he was in the European theatre and I was in the Pacific theater and we wrote hand-written letters to each other that were very connecting for us, thinking of the people that were separated for months if not years at a time back then.”

On visiting Louis in the hospital before his death: “I brought him the film on my laptop in the hospital and it was amazing seeing someone at the end of their life watching their life unfold again, at the same time their body was shutting down. He wanted me to make the movie to show something hopeful about the strength of the human spirit that can pull us through. He reminded me to have my surgery in the year that I did and he reminded me to appreciate every day of my life.”

And the bit with Louis too.
