Disney has top three highest grossing films of 2016

By Leah Zanolla | Published January 2, 2017

Disney came out of 2016 with the top three highest grossing films of the year. Finding Dory came in first with $486 million, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story follows with $438.8 million, and number three is Captain America: Civil War with $408 million.

What’s astonishing about those numbers is that Rogue One was only open for 16 days in 2016 and is still in theaters, so its overall numbers will just keep going up. Finding Dory was released June 17, 2016 and Captain America: Civil War was released May 6, 2016.

2017 looks to be another successful year for Disney with the releases of Beauty and the Beast, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Cars 3, and Star Wars: Episode VIII, among others.

Leah grew up in a little farming town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi River. Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
