Full text

With its many properties like Marvel and Star Wars , it’s safe to say that coming into every year, Disney expects to be one of the top performers at the box office. The studio has certainly found success with Toy Story 5 , and after bringing back both Tom Hanks and Tim Allen , the fifth installment in the animated franchise has grossed over $800 million at the global box office . Disney has struggled across other brands so far this year, though, especially with the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu . With a cumulative total standing at around $340 million at the time of writing, The Mandalorian and Grogu is expected to finish its box office run with an even lower total than Solo: A Star Wars Story , making it the lowest-grossing film in Star Wars franchise history .
