Guy Ritchie's Highest-Grossing Movie Is Not the One You'd Expect

When you think of Guy Ritchie, it's likely gritty action to mind. From the Cockney gangsters of his earlier work to Hollywood hits like The Man From UNCLE,The Gentleman, or the recent drama series MobLand, he's specialized in tough guys with dark motives. What might not come to mind is princesses, magic, and show tunes, and yet his most successful movie at the box office by a mile has all of that: 2019 Disney remake Aladdin. A live-action twist on the beloved 1992 animation would be a daunting task for any director, let alone one known for a different type of movie. However, Ritchie faced the challenge head-on and created box office magic.
