Disney soaked up more than 40% of what we spent at the box office this summer

There’s been talk about how the box office has become overly reliant on blockbusters, and this summer, Disney put out a lot of them, including “Avengers: Endgame”, “Toy Story 4”, and the “Aladdin” and “Lion King” remakes.

In fact, of the $4.31 billion grossed from the first weekend of May through Labor Day, $1.83 billion came from movies distributed by Disney.  That’s 42%, which is up from 33% last year.

And that doesn’t even include the record-breaking debut weekend of “Endgame”, since it came out the last week of April before the summer movie season!
