Six Movies Have Made $1 Billion This Year; Disney Made Five Of Them

Toy Story 4 has crossed a massive money milestone that makes it one of the biggest movies of 2019 and yet another example of Disney’s domination at the box office.

The movie, which was made by Disney’s Pixar studio, has now surpassed $1 billion USD in box office receipts worldwide. Toy Story 4 has made $421.3 million from the Americas and $579.9 million from international markets, according to box office numbers posted by BoxOfficeMojo.

Toy Story 4 is the sixth movie of 2019 to make at least $1 billion at the box office. The other five include Avengers: Endgame ($2.79 billion), The Lion King ($1.34 billion), Captain Marvel ($1.12 billion), Spider-Man: Far From Home ($1.098 billion), and Aladdin ($1.035 billion).

As you can see, five of the six movies that made $1 billion or more this year came from Disney, with Sony’s Spider-Man: Far From Home the only exception. All of them are sequels or franchise movies of some kind. Disney will probably get at least one more billion dollar-earning movie this year, as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens in December.

Toy Story 4 also becomes Pixar’s fourth movie to make more than $1 billion, joining Incredibles 2 ($1.24 billion), Toy Story 3 ($1.06 billion), and Finding Dory ($1.02 billion).

Only 43 movies in history have made more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. All of the box office numbers here are not adjusted for inflation.
