Comscore chief box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian, said, “Universal seems to have found the perfect balance of franchise films, animation, horror and everything in between — and these assets are given every possible advantage with a pitch perfect strategy that combines great filmmaker relationships, fantastic marketing and a rock-solid distribution plan.”
Notably, Disney had four titles in the top 10 films, but none in the top three.
The year marked the first since 2014 that no Disney movie grossed over $1 billion.
Additionally, a surprise independent film, “Sound of Freedom,” made the top 10 at the American box office.
