That’s only one way of highlighting the dominating year that the studio is having so far, though.
And, of course, the latest Spider-Man movie is also a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a Disney brand, so the studio probably still sees it as a big picture victory regardless.
It’s worth noting that the rankings are liable to change in even just the next couple of days, as Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home – a Sony release – is just $1,473,317 behind Aladdin, and will surely out-gross it by the end of summer, but the landscape that currently exists is still illustrative enough to be noteworthy.
Thanks to the performances of The Lion King, Pixar’s Toy Story 4, and Guy RItchie’s Aladdin this week, the numbers now show that Disney has released the five top grossing films domestically so far in 2019 (the other two titles being Joe and Anthony Russo’s Avengers: Endgame and Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s Captain Marvel).
