Something that seems to have been mostly ignored that happened Thursday.
The domestic gross of all movies released by Fox in 2018 has now Surpassed the domestic gross of Black Panther

Disney's still got Antman & The Wasp, and Christopher Robin coming out.
and the Nutcracker, won't make much but still, and then Wreck it ralph and Mary Poppins on christmas day.
I hope Nutcracker makes enough for Disney to consider making more original* movies.
*I know it's not truly original, but it's not a rehash of an animation.
Time to bring out the champagne!
Are you gonna take the budgets into account?
Well this is the total gross for the calendar year so i'd need to figure out how much of a movies budget is equal to the percent made this year.... but
BP: 250mil give or take
Fox: DP: 110mil, Maze Runner 62mil, Red Sparrow 69mil, Love Simon 17mil, super troopers 13.5mil, now for partials
TGS made 70% of its gross this year, so about 59mil, The post made almost all its money in this year 49mil, Ferdinand made 36% this year so 40mil, the MotOE adds 1mil.
So to match Disney's 250mil movie Fox released a combined 420mil in production.
This is only looking at domestic of course, WW fox is far ahead of BP
Well this is the total gross for the calendar year so i'd need to figure out how much of a movies budget is equal to the percent made this year.... but
Why would this even work? This logic needs to be justified a lot. Box Office can't be assumed to be evenly distributed on the movie's budget.
Why even make this post? To point out one specific useless fact about calendar gross?
First off, this is all for fun. Second off, do you have a better suggestion on how the numbers should be calculated? Should the whole budget of a film that released Dec 31 2017 be counted in this sum of costs? What about a film that made $1 on Jan 1 2018? Should that whole budget be considered?
I think OP did the best we can expect from a question that had a gray answer.
No such reasonable calculation exists. How can the fact that a movie made x% of its money in 2018 mean that x% of its budget was spent by the studio for its 2018 money? The studio spent the whole budget and got the whole Box Office in return, that's it. You can't divide the gross in two parts and say x% of the budget was 'used up' in the later part of the gross. That makes zero sense. This post makes zero sense. A cultural phenomenon is being compared to small scale movies. By the way, a 2009 Fox movie made two Black Panthers worldwide.
Well instead we could just go by movies released this year I guess, In that case Fox is still 230mil away.
Instead WB is the closest at about 600mil.

Then again throwing more money does increase your chances to be a blockbuster. Small-scale movies have small chances of making big money.

thank you for the new ammo that I know r/movies and Black Panther is overrated and overhyped crew around the world can enjoy. Now tell me which one of these lines makes you the upset that this movie which is on blu-ray right now and those sales have Black Panther is outselling the Top 20 combined on the UK's DVD chart right now and also the leading the nominations in the MTV movie awards which are on tonight I believe and it also took home top honors at the Golden Trailer Awards last week.
Marvel had to bring in all its characters to take down Black Panther but one could argue since Black Panther and Wakanda is Infinity War something those other 2 avengers movies didn't have and Black Panther did Avengers mone.... oh excuse me, Star Wars money just 2 months ago could the cat be a factor?
or this one
Fox domestic gross of all its that have come out this year have beat Black Panther domestic gross. Because even though no one saw this movie doing that and most people didn't even think it was going to beat a record from just 1 Fox movie which was Dead Pool opening weekend and people are just overhyping it and even though I can't name a black super hero movie that didn't come out in the last 14 years and that last one to come out 14 years ago was a R-rated movie and alot of our youth who are the target for super hero movies didn't exist yet and 14 years where we got 10 years of super hero movie is better than nothing and even though I'm going to prove peoples point also by bringing up blade and those other super hero movies that came out in the early to mid nineties that I fucking didn't watch but I saw it in blockbuster and laughed at shaq in a tight metal suit and put it back that one time....... I lost my point but yeah a series of movies made more money than 1 movie and it wasn't a character general audience knew and it also is critically recieved better than all our movies.. wait why is this a big accomplishment?
I'm honestly not sure what you're getting at with this.

Did you have a point or are you just mad at Disney and Marvel?
If anything he's gloating with the success of Black Panther. How did you get he hated Disney or Marvel?
If you read the words too to bottom the. Right to left.... I honestly couldn’t figure out what was said
His sentence construction is poor but it was still understandable by the second sentence.
Lol
....it’s not a big accomplishment. If anything, it’s a post highlighting how much money BP made and how relatively little other studios’ movies made.
You’ve got a chip on your shoulder a mile wide, mate. No one in this sub is saying BP didn’t do well. Yes, there are idiots who want to undermine BP’s success in other subs, but the numbers speak for themselves. BP was an unprecedented success. In no way does OP’s post take away from that.
You should stop smoking crack
No, really, what are you talking about?
That was a combination of words. I’ll give you that
Troll much? (and it was overhyped and mediocre, you got me!)
That's a really arbitrary milestone that helps illustrate that despite having two huge bombs this year Disney obliterates the competition. It'll get even worse with Incredibles 2 and their other releases given how weak other studios' line ups are this
Yup, Disney broke the record for 1 billion domestic on 4/27 this year. It'll break 2 billion probably by Tuesday or Wednesday the 19th/20th. That'd be fast enough to be the 5th fastest studio to 1 billion.
You're seriously under selling the other studios line up this fall.
I believe last year was similar with most Disney blockbusters being released early on in the year. A lot of WB's blockbusters are coming out in the last quarter and they basically left the second quarter barren with just 3 releases (Life of the Party, Tag and Oceans 8). Universal has a good few more movies as well, mostly adult oriented but they should still be hits.
I'll come back to this comment at the end of the year. The gap certainly will be smaller.
