Disney’s $4 Billion Domestic Year?

Disney’s film releases in 2018 set an all-time record. 2019 will beat it.

2019 is already off to a strong start, despite it being a late one for the studio. Captain Marvel, Disney’s first for the year, released on March 8, 2019, and is on pace to reach a domestic box office of at least $350 million.

This will be followed by Dumbo (3/29), Avengers: Endgame (4/26), Aladdin (5/24), Toy Story 4 (6/21), The Lion King (7/19), Artemis Fowl (8/9), Frozen 2 (11/22) and Star Wars: Episode IX (12/20).

If we base the potential domestic earnings of the three upcoming live-action Disney classic remakes on the average of previous high profile live-action Disney…
