In North America, we’re running 1% ahead of last year. But collectively this summer might end up beating last summer. Jurassic World, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and Inside Out were all well reviewed.
#Disney box office 2016 movie
If you look at the summer of 2015, it was an outlier in the sense that almost every big movie was also well reviewed. But it’s been hard for a lot of other movies to measure up. “ Captain America: Civil War kicked this summer off on a high note, critics loved that movie, it made a ton of money. “There doesn’t seem to be the warm and fuzzy love towards a lot of the movies that came out,” he says. It’s been, emotionally, a rollercoaster.”ĭergarabedian agrees that a lack of enthusiasm for much of the summer product has coloured perception of how it has fared. So many films didn’t perform to expectations, but if you look at the collective box office, it’s been a very strong summer. “It has been a very interesting and very volatile summer,” comments Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data gatherer comScore (formerly Rentrak). It all adds up to a set of conditions that have knocked global box office off course, right? Actually, not really.
Creatively, it has not felt like a vintage year, particularly the summer period, and the Euro football championships from June 10 to July 10 caused a month-long headache for the studios in European markets. No film released in 2016 has yet caught up with any of summer 2015’s monster trio - or, for that matter, last year’s other behemoth releases, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the third biggest film of all time, and Fast & Furious 7, which is sixth. The summer season alone last year offered three giant blockbusters in the shape of Jurassic World, Avengers: Age Of Ultron and Minions, films that currently occupy fourth, seventh and 11th place in the all-time global box-office pantheon.
“Disney has consistently put almost unfathomable numbers on the board by delivering a diverse and irresistible slate of films, while capitalizing on the goodwill and viewer loyalty that has been built up by years.After a 2015 in which the box office rebounded from a dismal 2014 in spectacular fashion, a simple glance at the release slate for this year suggested that 2016 would surely struggle to measure up. “It’s difficult to describe the momentousness that Disney is enjoying,” said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore. “ Frozen 2” has earned $920 million to date and will soon become the sixth title to join the elusive club in 2019, while “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” could make it seven.ĭisney currently holds six of the 10 biggest movies of the year globally with “Avengers: Endgame,” the highest-grossing film of all time ($2.79 billion), as well as “The Lion King” ($1.6 billion), “Captain Marvel” ($1.2 billion), “Toy Story 4” ($1.07 billion), “Aladdin” ($1.05 billion) and “Frozen 2” ($920 million). In August, Disney established a new record for having five movies - “Avengers: Endgame,” “Aladdin,” “Toy Story 4,” “The Lion King” and “Captain Marvel” - cross $1 billion in a single year. 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.
