Disney Surpasses a Major Milestone at the 2025 Box Office
While 2025 was a roller coaster year at he box office for Disney Studios, Bob Iger and his team have managed to end the year strong.
As we have reported about extensively, the year began on a sour note for Disney with the disappointing release of Captain America: Brave New World and the disaster that was Snow White.

While Lilo & Stitch gave the studio a much-needed win, the film was followed by Thunderbolts*, which underachieved, and Elio, which bombed.
Subsequent films, including Freakier Friday and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, also had muted box office runs. Finally, TRON: Ares tanked.
Enter ‘Zootopia 2’ and ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’
As Disney entered the final months of 2025, it needed blockbusters. Thankfully, the studio had Zootopia 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash on the docket.

Additionally, Disney bested all other studios with a $2.3 billion domestic gross.
With Avatar: Fire and Ash continuing to bring audiences to theaters, Disney’s 2025 gross will continue to climb.

As the year comes to an end, Bob Iger and his team have a lot to be thankful for. With the studio set to release Avengers: Doomsday, Toy Story 5, and The Mandalorian & Grogu in 2026, another record-setting year could be on the horizon.
