After 23 long years, the sci fi-action movie "Independence Day" was dethroned as Will Smith's highest-grossing movie to date. It was replaced in 2019 by Disney's live-action remake of "Aladdin," where the actor starred as the hilarious, very blue, wish-granting Genie. Per The Wrap, "Aladdin" raked in a total of $874 million in worldwide sales, surpassing "Independence Day," which only garnered $817 million at the box office. (Although domestically, "Independence Day" was still the bigger hit, with $306 million in unadjusted sales versus $305.9 million for "Aladdin," per Deadline).

Notably, before "Aladdin", Smith also enjoyed a massive success at the box office with his 2016 movie "Suicide Squad," which grossed $746 million globally, per Box Office Mojo. Meanwhile, on Instagram, Smith expressed his utmost gratitude to fans and moviegoers for making "Aladdin" his biggest film yet. "Today, 'Aladdin' just passed 'Independence Day' as the highest-grossing film of my entire career," he said in a video. "And to be in this game as long as I've been in this game and to have my biggest movie at this point in my career, I just want to say thank you."
