"Universal Dethrones Disney in 2023 Box Office Battle for Market Supremacy"
Universal Studios surpassed Disney as the top-grossing Hollywood studio at the 2023 box office, earning $4.91 billion globally compared to Disney's $4.83 billion. This marks the first time Universal has outperformed Disney since 2016. Universal's success was bolstered by hits like "Super Mario Bros." and "Oppenheimer," while Disney released fewer films and saw some underperforming titles. Despite this, Disney still secured the most spots in the top ten box office hits of the year.
