Deadpool and Wolverine also generated $1.338 billion and broke the all-time record of the highest-grossing R-rated movie. Moana 2 is expected to earn $719 million, while Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Alien: Romulus by Disney has amassed $398 million and $351 million, respectively.
Disney’s Mufasa release, fell short of the anticipated figures but could still be considered a miscalculation at year-end. Holiday play is on ahead, and Dis has produced some of the year’s key moments. Nevertheless, all studios would feel encouraged for continuing momentum.
