As of July 2026, "Avatar" remained the highest-grossing film, with a gross of approximately **** billion U.S. dollars. Recent additions include "Ne Zha 2" and "Zootopia 2."

The film industry in numbers

2023 was undoubtedly a good year for the film industry, which saw its annual revenues increase by nearly 10 billion, thus approaching the threshold of ** billion U.S. dollars. Much of this was due to the loss of fear of returning to movie theaters, something that was already glimpsed in 2022. Specifically, movie attendance in the European Union, for example, increased by more than *** million that year, getting closer and closer to pre-pandemic figures.

Walt Disney, the cinematic giant to beat

Walt Disney is one of the highest-grossing producers in the film industry in general, and animation in particular. And, although overall its feature films have grossed less than some of its major competitors, the Mickey Mouse company continues to break records year after year. In its latest fiscal year, Walt Disney's revenues approached **** billion U.S. dollars, the highest figure of the past decade. It should be noted, however, that unlike other big names in cinema, Disney does not rely solely on the big screen, having found in theme parks, television channels, and more recently, its streaming channel a large and much safer source of income.
