Everyone knows Disney<\/a> has a way with franchises. Not only do they own the animated realm of feature films, but they also have Marvel films crushing the box office. Let\u2019s not forget our friends from a galaxy far, far away blasting their way into the record books with the Star Wars franchise. In 2016, with the help of films like Captain America: Civil War<\/em>, Finding Dory, Jungle Book, Doctor Strange, Moana<\/em> and Zootopia<\/em> Disney was primed to break global box office records. That\u2019s all before the little film called Rogue One<\/em><\/a> debuted earlier this month.<\/p>\n We reported<\/a> a few weeks back that the industry record of highest grossing global box office had previously belonged to Universal Studios. They earned $6.89 billion last year with huge mega movies like Furious 7<\/em> and Jurassic World<\/em>. Disney\u2019s Rogue One<\/em> has been in theaters for twelve days and has already earned $340.8 million and should hit $350 million before the end of the day today. That pushes it passed Suicide Squad<\/em> ($325.1 million) and Batman v Superman<\/em> ($330.4 million). Worldwide, Rogue One<\/em> has hit $615.9 million.<\/p>\n Disney is set to dominate the box office next year as well with two Marvel Studios films (not including Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/em><\/a>) and another installment in the Star Wars saga. The competition will be fierce with a new Fast and Furious film coming out, as well as Justice League<\/em><\/a> and Wonder Woman<\/em><\/a> coming out in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone knows Disney has a way with franchises.
