With a couple of all-time blockbusters this summer, Walt Disney Studios has passed a massive global box office milestone. This weekend, Disney shot past the $4 billion mark globally, thanks mainly to the performance of two movies — Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine. Both films, aimed at entirely different demographics, have grossed a combined total of nearly $3 billion worldwide. Disney also leads all studios domestically, with combined revenue exceeding $1.2 billion so far.
Deadpool & Wolverine, on the other hand, has generated $1.29 billion worldwide so far, with room for more. It’s the second-biggest hit of 2024, the biggest R-rated movie of all time, and currently the seventh-biggest superhero film in history. It’s also the biggest hit of stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s careers, and is responsible for reviving the Marvel brand after a largely disappointing post-pandemic era.
Besides Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine, Disney also experienced success with films such as Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which generated nearly $400 million globally against a reported budget of $160 million, and Alien: Romulus, which has grossed over $300 million so far against a reported budget of $80 million. Interestingly, Romulus, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and Deadpool & Wolverine are all properties that Disney inherited from 20th Century Studios.
