Disney just received a massive $7 billion win at the global box office this year, and it looks like the Mickey Mouse House's success is mostly thanks to Marvel's two biggest films of 2018, Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther.
Deadline has the latest news on Disney and according to the publication, the multi-media conglomerate just passed $7 billion at the global box office today. This is the very second time that any studio's been able to reach a total of $7 billion in ticket earnings, and it's mostly thanks to Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther.
Both Marvel movies were extremely successful films, raking in huge chunks of money at the worldwide box office during their debut this year. Infinity War raked in more than $2 billion around the globe during its release, making the first installment in Joe and Anthony Russo's two-part Avengers movie the fourth movie to ever reach $2 billion at the box office.
Meanwhile, Black Panther brought in $1.34 billion from the box office around the globe, $700 million of which came from the stateside.
Infinity War and Black Panther's success doesn't seem like a surprise. While the later was the beginning of the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther broke ground as the first ever all-black comic book movie from the MCU.
Other films that served as major box office hauls for the Mickey Mouse House this year include Pixar Disney's Incredibles 2 which raked in $1.24 billion and Ant-Man and the Wasp which brought in $622.6 million at the box office.
Infinity War's sequel, Avengers: Endgame, premieres May 3, 2019.
