Hidden Figures may have been the top-grossing film at this year's Academy Awards, but in even better news, it turns out that the film has now outsold recent movies from major franchises such as Star Trek, X-Men, and Bourne.

The Wrap reports that Hidden Figures has now officially earned $162.8 million — a fraction more than the 162.4 million that Jason Bourne earned in August, and a slightly larger take than the $155.4 million that X-Men: Apocalypse earned, as well as the $158.8 million Star Trek Beyond made.

For clarification, the aforementioned movies are major sellers. And for a film that's not coming from a cult-favorite series, it's incredible that Hidden Figures managed to outearn these superhyped blockbusters, particularly when you consider the degree of diversity and the subject matter. And it's an even more significant victory when you realize that women of color still struggle to get hired in Hollywood, despite the fact that diverse films tend to perform well at the box office, as The Wrap also notes.

Hopefully, this film's success will make it easier for other hidden figures to finally step into the light. Besides, it's about time.
