Walt Disney Studios seems to be on a roll and is enjoying quite a spectacular year. This 2016 it has become the first studio to mass a billion dollars and doing so in record time of 128 days beating the previous record of Universal Studios with an impressive 37 days margin. This is thanks to a slew of films including Star Wars: The Force Awakens (with impressive holdovers from 2015), Captain America: Civil War, Zootopia and Jungle Book, all of which with the exception of Alice: Through the Looking Glass, have met with critical success at both the American and international box office.
Speaking of successes, two of the studio's films - Captain America: Civil War and Zootopia, currently sit atop the international box office as the highest grossing films and the only films so far of 2016 to have crossed the $1 billion mark thus, becoming only two of 26 films to ever achieve the feat.
For Zootopia it is even more impressive as it becomes only the fourth ever animation film to cross the billion dollar mark. The other three being Frozen, Minion and Toy Story 3, two out of which are also Disney productions. At the moment, Zootopia stands at a world cume in of $1,001.1 in ticket sales.
