Over the weekend, the new "Lion King" pushed Disney (DIS) to $7.67 billion in global box-office ticket sales this year. That's the best-ever box office haul by one studio in one year, beating Disney's own record of $7.61 billion from 2016. That happened just one week after "Avengers: Endgame" jumped over "Avatar" to become the highest-grossing film ever at the global box office. In fact, Disney has all top five movies of 2019 globally this year: "Avengers: Endgame," "Captain Marvel," Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) (distributed by Sony but co-produced by Marvel), "Aladdin," and "Lion King." Disney has the top five U.S. movies as well, a list that has "Toy Story 4" instead of "Spider-Man." The dominance is terrifying to competitor studios, but they all should have seen it coming: Disney's wins are the result of methodical, brilliant M&A.
