Disney Passes $1 Billion at the Box Office
Posted on October 10, 2011 by John Frost

For 15 of the last 18 years and the sixth consecutive year, The Walt Disney Studios has passed $1 billion in domestic box office booty. The total was reached with help from Pirates Of The Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides, Cars 2, The Help, Gnomeo And Juliet, and The Lion King 3D. Disney was the third fastest studio to that loft number behind Paramount and Warner Brothers.

It took Disney 62 more days in 2011 than it did in 2010 (Toy Story 3, Alice and Wonderland) to reach the one billion figure. But at least it got there.

Two big films yet to come for Disney in 2011 are Disney The Muppets and War Horse. 2012 Lineup includes the much anticipated John Carter, Disney Animation’s Wreck-It Ralph, and Pixar’s Brave. Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie could also be the sleeper hit of 2012. Without Johnny Depp in the schedule, I give 2012 a 50% chance of beating the 2011 race to $1 billion, how about you?

I think you forgot Disney's purchase of Marvel. 2012 is a very big year for Marvel and money is going to be flowing in. They've got Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence in February i believe, and the new Spider-man reboot in the summer. Not to mention the all too anticipated Avengers film, also in the summer. Marvel is going to do pretty well for themselves (and for Disney).

OMG, so my sister was right that Lion King made big bucks! Because when she saw it, there was a long line, and during every funny scene (Luau, anybody?), everybody laughed. Plus, for the people who called Cars 2 a flop, they will have to read this thread to see the truth, because that was one of the movies that made Disney big bucks this year! And I never knew that The Help was made by Disney/Touchstone/Miramax.
