Disney Had Its Sixth Blockbuster this Year

Some amazing numbers for Disney (DIS):

The Walt Disney Co. has hit a new threshold by grossing $10 billion at the worldwide box office.

No studio has ever done this. In fact, Disney (NYSE: DIS) broke its own record all the way back in July when it surpassed $7.6 billion — a high set in 2016 — driven by “Avengers: Endgame,” “The Lion King,” “Captain Marvel,” “Toy Story 4” and “Aladdin.”

Each of those films has made more than $1 billion in global ticket sales, and with nearly $920 million worldwide, “Frozen II” is well on its way to becoming the studio’s sixth billion-dollar release — another record.

Through Sunday, Disney had grossed $3.3 billion domestically and $6.7 billion internationally.

That doesn’t even include releases from Fox, which Disney acquired in March. Counting those films, which include the recent hit “Ford v Ferrari,” the studio’s global take goes up to $11.9 billion.

And “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” hasn’t even hit theaters yet.
