This year has been Universal's year - 3 moviesinthe Top 5 grossing movies of the year.

Universal - $6,475,661,921 box office gross, across 21 movies released in 2015. An average of $308,364,853 per movie.
Disney - $4,535,004,405 box office gross, across 11 movies released in 2015. An average of $412,273,128 per movie.

(and Star Wars is still playing.)


I wouldn't say that it has been Universal's year.

Actually, it has. Even though Disney's 2015 movies average a higher gross /movie, that comes from very high budget movies, while Universal has had some huge hits this year with relatively small budgets (  Minions, Pitch Perfect 2, Fifty Shades of Grey, Straight Outta Compton). Also , you have to bear in mind some downright flops coming from Disney, such as Tomorrowland and The Good Dinosaur, which lost them a good chunk of money.

Even with the Juggernaut that The Force Awakens is, Universal will probably have made more profit in 2015 than Disney, when speaking of movies.
