Doctor Strange Helps Disney Box Office Hit $6 Billion in 2016

Earlier this week, Disney announced that the studio's movies collectively pulled in $5.85 billion at the global global office through November 1, making 2016 the company's biggest-earning year ever. Now that Doctor Strange is out, Disney's total box office take has passed $6 billion.

As of today, November 6, Disney's global box office haul stands at $6.07 billion, according to Deadline. That's not an industry record, as Universal's box office take for 2015 ended with $6.89 billion, fueled in part by the massive success of Jurassic World, the fourth-biggest movie in film history.

As Deadline points out, Disney could pass Universal's record this year, as it still has big-time movies on the way including Moana and Star Wars: Rogue One. Disney's biggest hits this year included Captain America: Civil War ($1.15 billion), Finding Dory ($1.024 billion), Zootopia ($1.023 billion), and The Jungle Book ($966 million)

Doctor Strange made $85 million for its US opening this weekend. It was already released in international markets; its global box office take now stands at $325.4 million through today.
