Disney is ruling the world, including India, in 2016 box-office collections, so far.
The half-yearly box office results are out and Disney has come forth as the winner at the US box office with four out of five Disney films becoming the top earners at the US domestic box office.
According to this statistic by Box Office Mojo, till Sunday (July 10), four Disney films have collectively grossed over USD 1.5m at the American box office.
The Disney films that have made it big are (in decreasing order): Finding Dory (USD 408.5m), Captain America: Civil War (USD 406m), The Jungle Book (USD 360m), and Zootopia (USD 340m).
In third place is the NOT-superhero film Deadpool, based on the Marvel character, produced by 20th Century Fox.
Disney is also leading in worldwide box office collections: top 3 highest grossing films of 2016 are from Disney according to this report. The fourth and fifth positions are held by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Deadpool, respectively.
In India, Disney has ruled the roost (so far) as well, with its The Jungle Book becoming the highest grossing film of 2016 with total earnings of almost Rs. 250 crore. However, Salman Khan’s recently released Sultan is expected to quickly topple that record.
Sultan in the opening weekend has grossed Rs. 105.34 crore according to noted film analyst Taran Adarash. The Salman Khan-Anushka Sharma film has already earned over Rs. 150 crore worldwide.
