Well, Disney has also set a record on the homefront too, with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story helping push its domestic haul beyond the $3 billion mark for the year – the first time that feat has been achieved by a studio.

Disney has the three highest earners at the domestic box office for 2016 with Finding Dory ($486.3 million), Rogue One ($447 million and counting) and Captain America: Civil War ($408.1 million).
