By the time the latest Star Wars film winds down in theaters, it should easily make more than $500 million domestically, meaning for the second year in a row, the biggest movie takes place in a galaxy far, far away.
In the summer, Captain America: Civil War brought in a whopping $408 million domestically, a mark that was only passed by Finding Dory‘s $486.2 million.
Walt Disney Pictures dominated the box office during 2016, breaking several records thanks to the success of blockbusters such as Zootopia, The Jungle Book, and Finding Dory.
Of course, the Mouse House has several affiliates, including Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm – home to two of the biggest franchises in the industry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars.
