Disney/Fox: Any possible threats?


Anyone fierce enough?
box office dominance

Disney's market share of the domestic box office so far is more than 40% when including Fox-released movies, according to Box Office Mojo. And even without Fox, which has barely made a dent, Disney would still account for about 38%. Its closest follower is Universal Studios which occupy only 13%. With movies like "Avengers: Endgame," "The Lion King," and "Toy Story 4," it's no surprise that Disney is winning the 2019 box office. But Disney's domination is made even more clear when looking at the competition.

Disney's biggest movie in 2019 and the biggest movie of all time is "Avengers: Endgame," which made $857 million in the US. Universal's biggest movie so far? Jordan Peele's "Us," which made $175 million (the studio's "Fast and Furious" spin-off, "Hobbs and Shaw," could surpass this). Disney has released four of the top five movies at both the domestic and global box offices this year. "Spider-Man: Far from Home," which is also in the top five, is distributed by Sony as part of a deal with Disney's Marvel Studios. Other major studios, like Paramount and Warner Bros., have struggled to keep up, while Lionsgate has emerged to give the major studios a run for their money with some help from "John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum." It's leading Paramount at the box office.

The chart below compares how every studio's domestic market share compares, and Disney — including Fox — is leading by a wide margin.

Is it budget, box office, language, or movie genre? Hence, we, the three movie lovers and data lovers too, decided to conduct a statistical analysis regarding the influential factors of a movie’s success.

Source: www.imperialtheatre.com Though we usually strive to focus on specific areas or a niche zone for in depth analysis, this time wanted to direct your attention towards a bigger picture. We believe that talking about this particular topic would help you to understand many of our future analysis, and also gives us a way to introduce you to the idea that on-the-surface stats are rarely descriptive enough to understand the situations. Today, we are going to show you a little bit of how movies have been doing over the years since records have been kept, or rather, records that IMDB has. For our analysis, we have used the list of movies in IMDB’s records till the end of 2016. Though the original dataset has 5043 movies, we had to remove duplicate entries, and even remove movies that had insufficient information and would not contribute well to our analysis. Even though there are many different categorizing levels for genres, we decided to use only a handful of primary level g...
