US EditionDisney earns $6 billion at global box office for first time in 5 years
Disney reached $6 billion globally in 2025 with 16 wide releases, including two billion-dollar hits, despite some box office misses, marking its biggest year since 2019.
- Disney Studios announced it had surpassed $6 billion in global ticket sales this year, becoming the first and only major to cross this mark in 2025 and marking its fifth time since 2016.
- Thanks to two billion-dollar tentpoles, Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia 2 , plus Avatar: Fire and Ash , Disney's milestone reflected 16 wide releases.
- Breaking down the receipts, Disney reported $2.3 billion domestically and $3.65 billion internationally, with three Marvel Studios films combining for 1.3B despite uneven grosses of $415M, $382M, and $521M.
- This makes 2025 Disney's biggest year since 2019 , while Warner Bros. trails at about $4.3B and overall box office remains around 20% below pre-pandemic levels.
- Given a roughly 50-50 ticket split with theaters, not all 2025 releases, like Elio , turned a profit despite Disney’s 2026 slate including Avengers: Doomsday and Toy Story 5.
