just like Terminator 6 y arctic dogs. Disney has just broken a very important historical record that until now belonged to… Disney. The annual collection in theaters of Disney movies has broken the ceiling again. The box office boost Frozen 2, released on November 29, has made possible that Disney has overcome this weekend the psychological barrier of 10.000 million dollars collected throughout 2019. And that is yet to come the premiere of the almighty closure of the Star Wars 9 trilogy (December 20). Martin Scorsese already said it a few weeks ago on account of the difficulties of production and launch of The Irish: The power of the colossal Disney corporation today seems to know no limits.
The previous record held by Disney in 2016 was nearly $XNUMX billion. The formula for unparalleled success in Disney theaters is explained (in addition to the mega hit of Frozen 2), with the 23 Marvel movies released since 2007. And, of all of them, one in particular has filled the bag more than any other: Avengers Endgame has grossed nearly $2.900 billion worldwide in 2019 (very far from the 2.048 million of the previous one, Infinity War).
It is a non stop.
But make no mistake: the productions own of Disney have also contributed notably: El Rey León y Toy Story 4 1.600 and 1.070 million respectively have been obtained. In addition, it must be taken into account that in these 10.000 million dollars of 2019 the box office of Fox films (acquired by Disney this year) is not counted. The specialized medium Collider esteem that the total sum of Disney's income in 2011 would amount to almost twelve million dollars.
The Disney Formula: Sequel After Sequel After Sequel
Frozen 2 It has raised nearly a billion dollars in a week. However: we have to talk about the matter of the sequels.
Frozen 2 is not, by far, the only sequel that Disney has released this year. The virtual absence of original titles in the past (and future) calendar of Disney movies is striking in an unusual way. If we discard reboots y remakes, among the super blockbusters of 2019 only Capitana marvel it's an original movie. Interestingly, the Marvel film was named this week Movie with the most errors of 2019 by the website moviemistakes.com (based on a total of 59 failures of coherence detected by its users, although closely followed by Endgame with 51 failures).
The list of Disney movies mega hits box office bullies of 2019 is complete with Aladdin (1.050 million dollars), Maleficent 3 (481 million dollars) and Dumbo, with a miserable 353 million dollars raised.
In other words: Frozen 3 is practically confirmed. Dumbo 2, not so much.
