So impressive has it been, in fact, that the studio is poised to not just break, but demolish Universal’s annual box office record once the fiscal year wraps. On November 1st, Disney had a billion more dollars to go to catch up to Universal’s annual box office record and since then, Doctor Strange has been released. Rounding the numbers, that put Disney right around the $6.47 billion mark — $42 million left to catch Universal’s box office record and $43 million to break it. It’s hard to predict how much Rogue One will ultimately pull in at the box office. Either way, when the year is all said and done, Disney’s dominance of the box office — and Hollywood in general — will be uncontested.
