Disney Leads US Box Office With $1.1B As Warner Bros Nears $1B

Disney Studios leads the U.S. domestic box office in 2025 with $1.1 billion in revenue from January to mid-June, driven by hits like 'Lilo & Stitch' and Marvel's 'Captain America: Brave New World'. This marks a 222% increase from the same period in 2024, with strong performances also from 'Thunderbolts*' and 'Snow White'. Warner Bros. follows closely with $906.9 million in box office receipts, buoyed by 'A Minecraft Movie' and upcoming releases such as 'F1' and James Gunn's 'Superman', positioning it to surpass $1 billion by Labor Day. Pixar is set to revive its biggest franchise with 'Toy Story 5' scheduled for release on June 19, 2026, marking the first sequel in the series since 2019. The studio continues to balance original films like 'Elio' and 'Hoppers' with franchise installments, reflecting its broader strategy. Major studios including Paramount, A24, and Angel Studios have also shown year-over-year growth, while Sony and Lionsgate have seen declines.
