Disney Becomes First Studio To Surpass $10 Billion At Worldwide Box Office

Disney has become the first studio in history to surpass $10 billion at the worldwide box office in a single calendar year. Variety reports: Through Sunday, the studio has generated $3.28 billion in North America and $6.7 billion overseas for a global haul of $9.997 billion and is expected to officially cross the benchmark within the next day. Disney smashed its own global box office milestone -- set in 2016 with $7.6 billion -- back in July after the success of "Avengers: Endgame" and "The Lion King." All the more impressive, the studio hit the new high-water mark even before "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," the final chapter in the Skywalker saga, arrives in theaters Dec. 20. Those ticket sales don't include Fox titles like "Ford v Ferrari" or "Dark Phoenix." When accounting for movies it acquired after inheriting Fox's film empire, that bounty is pushed to $11.9 billion.
