Walt Disney Studios crossed the $3 billion mark for the year yesterday, making this the 14th time that the company has achieved the milestone. Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever generated a $332M global opening last weekend, taking the studio right up to the $3 billion threshold. In addition, the studio has also surpassed their 2021 total of $2.9 billion with over a month left on the 2022 calendar and several major films yet to be released. The remainder of the year will see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever continue to play globally, as well as the anticipated openings of 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: The Way of Water (December 16th), Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Strange World (November 23rd) and Searchlight Pictures’ The Menu (November 18th) and Empire of Light (December 9th).
