Walt Disney set a box office record in USA
Walt Disney earned a record amount at the USA box office in 2016. According to The Hollywood Reporter, thanks to hits such as "Zootopia", "The First Avenger 3: Confrontation", "The Jungle Book", each of which earned more than a billion rubles, and others, the studio's cumulative box office in USA reached 7.9 billion rubles. Thus, the previous record was improved - 7.3 billion rubles, set a year earlier. There is one more significant difference: the studio managed to achieve such a result not in a full year, but in eight months, and it has several more premieres ahead of it, which can have a significant impact on the final result. First of all, we are talking about the first Star Wars spin-off, which will be presented to viewers in December 2016. Due to the significant drop in the ruble exchange rate over the past two years, the absolute record in dollar terms set in 2013 has so far survived. In that year, movies from Walt Disney Studios earned 5.8 billion rubles in the USA box office, or about $ 183 million at the current rate. Until the end of 2016, the studio can also claim an absolute record among all Hollywood studios. It belongs to Universal and is 8.8 billion rubles.
