Disney Studios announced that it exceeded ten billion dollars in revenues at the global box office, as it obtained 3.28 billion domestically and 6.72 billion globally.
And this is the number for Disney only, without adding the revenue from Fox Studios that Disney acquired in March this year, and which made profitable headlines such as Ford in the Fray and Dark Phoenix, and with Fox revenue the number rises to 11.94 billion dollars.
Compete herself
With these numbers, acquisitions and great successes that Disney is achieving recently, she became the only competitor to herself, as the previous record was also her, which is 7.6 billion dollars, last July.
The movie "Frozen 2" was able to settle this big number early in the beginning of December, after the great success it achieved globally, as it achieved in a few days since the beginning of its presentation of $ 991.7 million globally, to quickly become the sixth movie to reach this billion number. Year.
And it started with "Avengers: End Game", which became the highest-grossing film in the history of cinema, with a value of 2.8 billion, then the Lion King movie that made $ 1.66 billion, and after Captain Marvell $ 1.3 billion, then Game Story 4 with $ 1..07 billion And Aladdin 1.05 billion.
Major revenue this year is mainly divided between the Marvel World films, Live Action films and animation films, and achieving six films from one studio for more than one billion dollars is a new record that Disney has broken. The largest number of events before was only four films and Disney was Also in 2016.
And the number of ten billion dollars is not the end, as yet, one of the most important Disney films of 2019, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", which will be released on December 18, has not yet been released.
Disney Challenges 2020
With these accomplishments, 2019 becomes the fourth year in which Disney is the only box office global revenue box, respectively.
Next year, Disney has some great titles of course, and it has what makes it maintain its position as the most successful Hollywood studios for the next ten years as well, not just the following year. In it there are more Marvel films and Star Wars, and after the acquisition of Fox, also the "Avatar" series, but after it managed to monopolize 38% of revenue for itself in 2019 may find greater competition next year.
In 2019 Disney surprised all studios with their acquisitions and productions, and therefore it was a difficult year for everyone else, but during this time these companies were able to rearrange themselves, of course Disney will remain very profitable, but we will see more diversity in the movie market in 2020.
Disney has ruled 2018 with important films such as "Black Panther, Avengers: Infiniti War" and the second part of "The Incredibles" to achieve $ 7 billion, and as we have seen, 2019 brought her more strong films and unprecedented revenue.
The Disney 2020 films include two works from Pixar, “Onward” and “Soul”, and two films from Marvel, the Black Widow starring Scarlett Johansson, and the Eternal Starring Angelina Jolie and Live Action Mullen, and in an attempt to match the success of the Jumanji films, Dwayne Johnson will present a movie The curse of the jungle.
In a simple comparison, we find that none of these films can be compared to the 2019 films that included "Avengers End Game" and three Live Action films, not one. "Frozen 2" is one of the most awaited animated films ever, so Disney must celebrate this year and its record numbers may not be repeated in this picture again.
