Angelina was made for this role. Her bone structure makes her look so much like Maleficent. She is going to be fantastic.

Maleficent is Angelina Jolie's Top-Earning Film
by Erin Strecker
June 23, 2014

Over the weekend, Maleficent hit over $520 million at the worldwide box office, making it Angelina Jolie’s highest-grossing film of her career, besting previous record holder Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which took in $478.2 million in 2005.

Maleficent has been in theaters for four weeks in the United States, and it hauled in an additional $13 million this weekend domestically; Maleficent also passed Disney’s similarly styled Oz the Great and Powerful, which grossed $493.3 million worldwide back in 2013.

The film’s overall gross will likely get substantially higher; Maleficent has yet to open in Japan.

Naturally, it would be, because it's a kids film, and kids films tend to make more money than anything else in Hollywood, as anyone, from the young to the old, can see them.

Also, young kids don't go to the movies alone so it's usually double/triple the profits from the parents, friends, rest of family, etc...

mine review
Maleficent if your fan of cartoon movie sleeping beauty or have little girls seen it or if you seen it as a kid I highly recommend Maleficent me and my mom thought it be more scarier for little girls but its not it about this fairy who lived in this frost then she meets this boy then they fall in love he becomes the kings sevent but then he tricks Maleficent cuts off her wings but that's might have been what saved her. then the witch puts cruse on the kings baby she can't wake up unless a true love kiss . if your fan of fantasy or if you liked 2012 snow white comedy mirror mirror maleficent is no comedy its got some really dark moments in it it may be scarier for little younger kids or if you like snow white & the hunts man then i highly recommend maleficent I don't recommend it for every one this movie more about the witch then sleeping beauty if you want good family movie I highly recommend we Maleficent didn't see it in 3d or the I max if you want good family movie I highly recommend it I don't recommend if your Christian it does got some magic spells so if you don't like harry potter or don't want your kids to be into magic but it really don't got too much magic in it like I said I don't recommend it for every one if you grew up watching sleeping beauty movie then I highly recommend maleficent

Disney’s Maleficent Crosses $700 Million in Global Box Office
by THE DEADLINE TEAM
July 22, 2014

Disney’s Maleficent keeps on enchanting audiences around the world as it has crossed the $700 million mark in global box office, Disney distribution execs said.

It’s the studio’s second 2014 release to cross that high mark (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, box office champ for the first half of 2014, is the other).

Since its U.S. release on May 30, the film has tallied $228.8M domestically. Overseas, it has been extremely strong, no doubt helped by star Angelina Jolie‘s global visibility and appeal.

The overall international gross has hit $471.8M so far, with big numbers out of China, Mexico, Russia and Brazil. Japan, which has a habit of keeping late-arriving Disney films in theaters for many lucrative weeks (see what happened with Frozen earlier in the year before Maleficent dethroned it), just debuted the film on July 5.

Since then, it’s been No. 1 for three straight weekends, pulling in $32.7M already.

The studio said Maleficent is the year’s highest-grossing film based on an original story, (though some may quibble, given the film’s roots in Disney animated classic Sleeping Beauty).

It’s also Jolie’s highest-grossing live-action film ever, whether measured by domestic, international and global box office.
