Assuming Star Wars continues to perform, Disney will have produced five of the 10 films with the biggest opening weekends and four of the 10 biggest global performers, according to Box Office Mojo and RBC & Co. That track record points to the shrewdness of its acquisitions of Marvel (Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Iron Man 3), Pixar (the creators of Toy Story and Finding Nemo helped to make Frozen a hit) and Lucasfilm (Star Wars). Our chart also highlights the success of Entertainment One (ETO), which distributed the wildly popular Hunger Games series.
