Global revenue of the Walt Disney Company 2006-2022

In the fiscal year ended on October 1, 2022, The Walt Disney Company generated a total revenue of more than 82.7 billion U.S. dollars, up from 67.4 billion dollars a year earlier – an annual growth of over 22 percent.

A media leviathan

The Walt Disney Company controls several entertainment and media enterprises with a solid global presence. Arguably, its most famous facet remains Walt Disney Studios, which, as of late 2022, included benchmark companies such as 20th Century Studios, Marvel, Pixar, and Searchlight. Despite an increase of 165 percent in box office revenue across the United States and Canada in 2021, that year's figure amounted to less than one-third of the amount that Disney's studio division amassed in 2019, before the pandemic. Still, Disney alone accounted for over one-quarter of the box office revenue in the U.S. and Canada in 2021.

Parks and recreation

The holding is also known for its theme parks, which continued to bounce back from the coronavirus outbreak and its subsequent mobility restrictions. Throughout 2021, the company's seven most-visited parks had an attendance of almost 51 million, down 43 percent from the more than 89 million admissions reported two years earlier. Similarly, The Walt Disney Company's net income remained far from pre-pandemic standards. The figure amounted to about 3.2 billion dollars in the fiscal year 2022 – only a little more than one-fourth of the record-high 12.6-billion-dollar result seen in the fiscal year 2018.
