Disney hit the $2 Billion mark at the domestic box office in the quickest time ever on Saturday. This isn't the only milestone as it hit the $5 billion globally on July 6, doing so faster than in 2015 when it didn't hit that mark until December 20. Disney films have already hit $3 billion internationally.
This is after its latest hit Pixar's "Finding Dory" has already hit $724 million globally ($445 million domestically) with it not even opening in some major markets such as the UK, Italy, and Germany. Other films helping Disney at the box office include: Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" ($1.15 billion #1 at the box office this year), #2 in Disney's "Zootopia" ($1.02 billion), and Disney's "The Jungle Book" ($938 million). These take four of the top five films domestically and four of the top six films globally released in 2016.
Those don't include Lucasfilm's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" which took in $737 million in 2016 of its total $2.07 billion in the calendar year. All five films take a rating of 90% or higher on Rotten Tomotoes.
Disney is set to release several films for the rest of the year these include: Disney's Pete's Dragon (August 12), Queen of Katwe (September), Marvel's Doctor Strange (November 4), Disney Animation's Moana (November 23), and Lucasfilm's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (December 16).
