2016 was a favourable year for fantasy, animated features, and - most importantly - comic book films! According to an analysis from The Hollywood Reporter (via Box Office Mojo), Marvel Studios' Captain America: Civil War lead 2016 with a $1.15 billion haul at the box office, with Disney and Pixar's Finding Dory coming in a close second with $1.028 billion. Several other CBM's found their way into the top 10 as well, including Batman v Superman, Deadpool, and Suicide Squad.
As a whole, 2016 wasn't a great year for everyone; only 26 films managed to cross $100 million domestically, and a collection of box office bombs ( such as God of Egypt, Ben-Hur, The Finest Hours, and Allied) lost a combined total of about $1 billion. Disney, however, continued to thrive, commanding an whopping 26.4 percent of the North American market thanks to the massive success of Civil War, The Jungle Book, Zootopia, and Finding Dory, along with the recently released Moana and Rogue One: A Star Wars Read more: |
