Disney and a recently acquired subsidiary accounted for nearly 40% of the movie market in the first nine months of this year, CNBC reported. Anyone with kids, grandkids or a soft streak for Disney in general won’t be surprised. But before my grandkids sit down for the next viewing, let’s sneak in some stats for their well-read parents: 

Highlights:

• Disney films have sold more than $8.1 billion in tickets this year. That’s a lot. That beats the company’s own global record of $7.6 billion.
• The company raked in $2.7 billion domestically. Generally, when figures go into the billions, we like the phrase “raked in” better than “collected” or “amassed.” And that figure is before the release of “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” “Frozen 2″ and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” You know what’s not frozen? Disney’s bottom line.
• Disney’s movies accounted for 33.4% of the U.S. box office, which even in the new math is a third of the action. But Disney recently bought Fox, which brings the share to nearly 40% combined.
