Through May, Disney has earned $1.6 billion in North America and more than $4 billion worldwide, according to data from Comscore. Its closest competitor so far this year is, which has earned $702 million domestically since January, about half of which is from "Aquaman," which was released in December 2018.
"They could have five films break half a billion dollars in domestic box office this year," Creutz said. "Last year they had three." "A billion-type number would be reasonable for that, if not a little higher," he said, before noting that "Frozen 2" could earn even more than that. Its Thanksgiving release is a prime date for families to take their kids to the movies and even offers the chance for the film to be watched multiple times during that weekend.As for "Lion King," Macker said he wouldn't be shocked if it broke $2 billion globally.
2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," earned $651.9 million in the two weeks after its Dec. 18 release and 2017's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" earned $517.2 million domestically between Dec. 15 and Jan. 1. Even "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," which was not a franchise film, earned $408 million during its December run in 2016.
