The top 3 made more than #11-20.

 

Which is why Disney does fewer movies but a higher number of successful tentpoles.

 

 

That and Disney does tent poles that lend themselves to theme parks and the selling of lots of merchandise.

Secret Life of Pets:  $140m prints and advertising.

 

BULLSHIT.  They advertised that movie for more than year and it did not have nearly the kind of sponsor/product participation deals that Minions had.

 

 

I agree. There's no way it wasn't more than $140 million. They were running ads like you said for more than a year. 

 

But i knew Rogue One and DP would be super close. I'm calling bull shit on SLOP being the most successful because there's no way they only spent that much money.

It seems like X-Men Apocalypse is the least profitable of the DC/Marvel CBM's of 2016.

Which makes sense. Majority of its money came from China/internationally

I think it was a bit obvious

 

Civil War: 1150

BvS: 873

Deadpool: 783 

Suicide Squad: 745

Doctor Strange: 677

X-Men: 543

 

And all of them stronger domestic.

Pets being number one doesn't surprise me.

I'm shocked Pets was more profitable than Deadpool considering Deadpool had the lower budget. 

 

Illumination have kept the budgets steady, I guess they don't pay the voice actors huge salaries and the animation while decent is nowhere near as good as Disney, Pixar and even WAG and they animate in Paris rather than Burbank.

Late to the party, but I am still surprised by how much TC2 made. I will bet right now that IT will have a Top 10 place on the 2017 list.
