STAR WARS Surpasses FROZEN's Box Office Record; Josh Gad Gives Props

FROZEN star and Broadway alum Josh Gad gave props to STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS on Instagram today after the film surpassed FROZEN's all-time box office record with $1.29 billion globally over the Disney animated musical's impressive $1.28 billion in 2013. Scroll down for Gad's post!

Gad, who saw STAR WARS at the world premiere earlier this month, expressed no hard feelings. At least not for anyone but 'Hans', seen in the art below trapped in ice to mimic Han Solo's fate -- encased in carbonite -- in EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Plucky snowman 'Olaf', which Gad voices in FROZEN, is depicted as bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Gad isn't the only Broadway talent to give STAR WARS a thumbs-up; HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the music for the cantina scene in THE FORCE AWAKENS, treated his entire cast and crew to a private screening of the J.J. Abrams blockbuster earlier this week.

Gad will next be seen in the role of stand-up comic Sam Kinison in KINISON, a biopic that will be helmed by Larry Charles and produced by David Permut from a script by Rich Wilkes. He starred, co-created and executive produced the 2012 NBC comedy series 1600 PENN and has appeared on Broadway in THE BOOK OF MORMON, for which he received a Tony nomination, and THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE.

The Oscar-winning snowy sensation, FROZEN, is Disney's highest grossing film ever and has enchanted and captivated children and families around the world. The score is a succession of instant classic hits, including the hugely popular song, "Let It Go," which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
