BOX OFFICE: IRON MAN 3 Knocked To Sixth Highest Grossing Movie As FROZEN Moves Up

After just reaching the number five spot on the list of the highest grossing films, Iron Man 3 has been knocked back down to number six as Disney's animated movie 'Frozen' continues to dominate.

Six months after the release of Disney's Frozen, the movie has finally reached the huge milestone of one billion dollars, and just recently surpassed Iron Man 3 to become the fifth highest grossing movie of all time. It also holds the rank of being the highest grossing animated movie, which it just became not too long ago. Iron Man 3 didn't keep that spot very long, as it made it there a while before Frozen was released in December. This means that once again The Avengers is the only Marvel movie to be in the top five. However, Iron Man 3 still made an extremely impressive amount of cash at the box office, having ended with $1,215,439,994 worldwide. The snowy animated flick continues to rake in even more money even after having been released on DVD already, but definitely won't be movie up any higher. It is beat only by Avatar, Titanic, Marvel's The Avengers, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2. Many more movies will be coming out in the next few years that could possibly beat Frozen out of the top five spot and even lower, such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, or Star Wars Episode VII to name a few.

I don't see how this movie is do damn popular and I hate the movie in general. It's one of five animated movies I just flat out don't like. The others being Up, Wall-E, Sleeping Beauty and Beauty & the Beast.

This means that once again The Avengers is the ONLY CBM to be in the top five.

This would have been a better statement because you include all CBMs equally.

I know someone didn't just say Iron Man 3 was worst than Last Stand. While Iron Man 3 is not the greatest film it still is a great film. Seriously the main reason people hate the film is because of the Mandarin twist, which was honestly handle really well. If they'd just made up a villian instead of using the Mandarin more fans would be pleased, but you guys are too butthurt to look past the fact that they changed the Mandarin.... Also if you haven't realized yet the Mandarin wasn't actually in the movie, the real Mandarin does exist in the MCU.

Well I still can't believe about Iron Man 3, deff one of the lesser great Marvel Studio movies out there, they got lucky.

Frozen never seen it, prob never will who knows.

Hopefully Disney doesn't ruin this franchise with a direct to dvd sequel :)

While some fanboys aren't thrilled about the movie's twists, general audiences dug it, giving it an "A" CinemaScore.
