Warner Bros. enjoys record year at the global box office thanks to Wonder Woman, It and Dunkirk

February 6, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Justice League may not have been quite as big a box office hit as expected, but Warner Bros.’ parent company Time Warner has been touting the studio’s success in 2017 – with the film division scoring a record year at the global box office.

“Warner Bros. had its best year ever at the global box office with its films grossing over $5 billion in box office receipts, led by hits like Wonder Woman, It and Dunkirk, which received eight Academy Award nominations, including for Best Picture. Warner Bros. also remains the #1 supplier of television shows for the broadcast networks, and saw continued growth in games with franchise releases Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Injustice 2.”

Wonder Woman pulled in $821 million worldwide, with the Stephen King adaptation It scoring a whopping $700 million and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk $525 million. Justice League added a further $656 million, while Warner Bros.’ entire film, television and video game operations amassed revenues of $13.9 billion in total across the year.
