As of January 2017, which is the highest grossing musical film of all time?

I don't really watch musicals, but I guessed it right.thanks Dude. 😎

Loved this movie and also the follow up.

d p catalano, you'd like this one; just watch it!

It was one of the few musicals which I actually saw on stage and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I got it wrong as I went with Grease, but when I checked after on Bing it stated that it was the Lion King but as that was animation I checked non-animation and that actually said Grease. I don't understand your reckoning on this one, sorry

Needs to be adjusted for inflation.

Should have specified that it was cinema.

Christine Perfect, agreed

Allowing for inflation, Sound of Music beats that!

Larry Ford, Not sure what you mean by B&B but I guess you got the answer wrong.

Bill Frazier, Obviously your guess was wrong and your only defence is to claim the answer is wrong ... the answer is 100% correct.

Barbara Pullen, Cheryl Connett, Grease holds the US record with $188 million (and a world total of $386 million). Worldwide it's Mamma Mia! with $144 million in the US and almost $465 in the rest of the world, for an amazing total of $609 million.
