Also worth noting in The Wrap’s report about Disney’s success in 2017 is the fact that the studio is still ranked second for domestic sales, which have reached $1.75 billion.
Warner Bros. (which produced hits like Wonder Woman, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, and Annabelle: Creation this year) currently holds that title with $1.96 billion, but the aforementioned release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi could knock WB from its throne and deliver the win to Disney by year’s end.
There is also still a chance that Disney might not match the domestic haul brought in by its 2016 slate of films (which included massive hits like Captain America: Civil War and The Jungle Book), but bowling the $5 billion turkey before the release of one of the most highly-anticipated movies of the year is impressive by pretty much any metric.
