... in the US and not adjusted for inflation
Grease has earned $190.1 million at the domestic box office in the United States. The film was initially released on June 16, 1978, with an opening weekend of $8.9 million. It became the highest-grossing film of 1978 and held the record for highest-grossing musical adaptation until recently being surpassed by Wicked, which has earned $214.3 million domestically.
When adjusting for inflation, Grease's domestic earnings would be equivalent to approximately $770.9 million in today's dollar.
Worldwide with $358M and counting by Sunday, Wicked will stand as the fourth highest grossing movie based on a Broadway musical after Mamma Mia! ($611.2M), Les Miserables ($442.7M) and Grease ($396.2M).
$396 million in 1978 would be equivalent to approximately $1.91 billion in 2024
