The previous record of $11.382 billion was set in 2016.
It should be noted, however, that the success was not equally distributed.
Attendance was also up 4% from the last year.
The question now becomes how will the box office fare in 2019?
It remains to be seen how most studios fare, but Disney shows no signs of slowing down.
BetweenAvengers: Endgame,The Lion King, andStar Wars: Episode IX, they should be just fine.
