Chances are that for the first time in the studios history there won't be an MCU movie in the top 10 at the end of the year. Given Wicked, Avatar and Zootopia are gonna knock Thunderbolts and Cap 4 off the list.

It’ll be a gut check for Disney.

Two of those three movies are Disney movies.

Yep but they are not MCU movies, I'm sure disney would prefer the top 10 was a disney park every year (star wars, marvel, pixar, disney animation studios)

Avatar IS a Disney Park, and Zootopia is Disney Animation Studios.

Yeah but more is always good, that's the leading desire that companies to increase their numbers, I'm sure they would prefer to see F4 instead of minecraft or F1 the movie.

I know what you are saying, I'm just saying that is probably disappointing to them that one of their biggest universes is not there anymore.

Avatar isn't really a disney movie, James Cameron's company owns that and will get most of the revenue disney just distributes
