WB crossed the huge milestone this year for the second time in its history, mainly thanks to five of its movies surpassing $500M: Wonder Woman ($821.8M), It ($694.2M), Kong: Skull Island ($566.7M), Dunkirk ($525.0M), and the recently released Justice League which currently sits at $570.3.
WB’s president of worldwide marketing and distribution Sue Kroll said the following:
“We are thrilled to reach this extraordinary benchmark as we come to the end of an amazing, record-setting year,” said Sue Kroll, WB’s president of worldwide marketing and distribution. “Surpassing $5 billion in a single year can only happen with an incredible level of hard work across all theatrical divisions, as well as the invaluable contributions of the many talented filmmakers and actors with whom we are so fortunate to collaborate. Congratulations to everyone who shares in this success.”
So while the studio has to be disappointed that Justice League didn't do better, this great achievement should definitely serve as some consolation.
