"Frozen" broke yet another record when it became the fifth-highest grossing movie of all time, making nearly $1.22 billion at the box office.

The record makes it the second-highest grossing Disney movie, behind "Marvel's The Avengers," which is third on the overall list. "Frozen" became the highest-grossing animated film of all time when it beat out "Toy Story 3" by making $1.06 billion.

"Frozen" has now made more money globally than "Iron Man 2," "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" and "Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King." The four films still ahead of the Disney now-classic are "Avatar," "Titanic," "The Avengers" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."

In the wake of the film's insane success, Disney announced that it would further capitalize on the goldmine with a Broadway musical and an on-ice spectacular. No specific timeline has been released for the live musical, but Idina Menzel, who voiced Elsa in the film, has said that she "absolutely" wants to be part of the stage performance. Her co-star, Kristen Bell is on board too. "Frozen" on ice will debut in September and will tour around the country before heading overseas. Looks like the entire world is still not over "Let It Go."
