## Transcript

Let it go? More like grab hold. Frozen has made box office history. Disney's Oscar- winning movie now boasts a global box office revenue of 1. 072 billion, freezing out its fellow Disney buddy, Toy Story 3. That flick hit theaters in 2010 and held the record with a global box office of 1. 063 billion. This record for Frozen is just the tip of the iceberg. It also earned a spot at number ten on the list of biggest global blockbusters of all time. Oh, and its digital release is the fastest selling ever, with 3. 2 million DVD and Blu- ray copies sold on the first day, and its success ventures outside the walls of the US into most major countries.

It's number one in Japan, and at $ 77 million it's one of the biggest movies to hit in Korea in the last five years. The soundtrack is also making just as much history going platinum and returning to the number one spot on the Billboard charts last week for a seventh time. Thanks for watching. I'm Jamal Andrews.
