Why wouldn’t we? In the best and worst of times, in the published horserace of box office dollars, we still need to know where the studios stand when all the dust settles — even if the pandemic kept business at bay with $4.55 billion for 2021 in U.S. and Canada, below the expected $5.2 billion.What continues to frustrate many major studio theatrical executives in this annual exercise is how the Disney-Fox merger continues to tip the scales in both a global and domestic box office race.<img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5gKrJCUF9tc/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Disney clearly is counting all of its labels — Disney, 20th Century Studios, and Searchlight, and proclaiming itself the winner with $1.17 billion in the U.S./Canada (+180% over 2020) and $2.9 billion global. Stateside that translates into 27% of the $4.55 billion 2021 domestic B.O. year, and the town will just have to deal with that.Disney’s 20th Century titles — Free Guy, The King’s Man, West Side Story — are handled by the same marketing and distribution team as the big Disney titles, i.e. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. However, Searchlight, a tad similar to the autonomy that Disney-owned Miramax had back in the day, operates its own marketing and distribution on its theatrical releases. It’s very difficult to exclude 20th Century Studios ticket sales from Disney’s haul, because, c’mon, after Avatar 2 and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, those titles truly will beef up the Burbank lot’s 2022 film revenues.<img src="https://download.logo.wine/logo/Sony_Pictures/Sony_Pictures-Logo.wine.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />However, if we’re going to be purist and weigh domestic box office market share by singular studios, a la before the 2019 merger, and go by the way they’re listed in Comscore, then Sony can arguably win 2021 with $1.059 billion domestic, 54% of that driven by Spider-Man: No Way Home, and also bolstered by Venom: Let There Be Carnage ($212.6M) and Ghostbusters: Afterlife ($122.3M). Sony’s monies account for 23% of the 2021 domestic B.O. That hand beats Disney’s $921.2M driven by Shang-Chi, Black Widow, Eternals, and Jungle Cruise. Worldwide, Sony files $2.43 billion, behind Disney’s $2.9B.<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5e/20th_Century_Studios.svg/1200px-20th_Century_Studios.svg.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />20th Century Studios + Searchlight combined made $245M, repping 5% of the annual domestic B.O., half of that total from Shawn Levy’s Free Guy, the highest-grossing original movie of the year.Sony deserves a big pat on the back here: They earned their bread off a pure theatrical window, not a day-and-date hybrid like Disney which debuted movies at the same time on Disney+. Perhaps if Disney stuck to theatrical, and didn’t siphon off box office grosses with Raya and the Last Dragon, Cruella, Jungle Cruise, and Black Widow, they’d be looking at a dramatically bigger number from their own branded movies right now. In 2019, Disney, 20th, and Searchlight did $4.25 billion.<a href="https://deadline.com/2022/01/domestic-box-office-2021-marketshare-disney-sony-1234904531/" target="_blank">Full Article</a><hr
