"Golden Age of Streaming who? Despite an influx of entertainment options on Netflix, Hulu and now Disney Plus, global box office receipts will surpass $42.5 billion in 2019, according to Comscore, cementing a new industry high. "

In the U.S. and worldwide, the 10 biggest movies of the year were either a sequel, remake or based on an existing property. After “Avengers: Endgame,” the top films globally were Disney’s “The Lion King” ($1.65 billion), Disney’s “Frozen 2” ($1.32 billion), Sony’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home” ($1.13 billion), Disney’s “Captain Marvel” ($1.12 billion), Disney’s “Toy Story 4” ($1.07 billion), Warner Bros.’ “Joker” ($1.06 billion), Disney’s “Aladdin” ($1.05 billion), Disney’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” ($945 million) and Universal’s “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” ($758 million).

For the first time in recent history, the five highest-grossing movies in North America all came from the same studio: Disney. Jon Favreau’s remake of “The Lion King” secured second place ($534 million), followed by “Toy Story 4” ($434 million), “Captain Marvel” ($426 million) and “Frozen 2” ($421 million).
