The 10 highest-grossing movies of 2016, ranked

The movie industry had another banner year as it took in over $11.1 billion in global ticket sales, surpassing last year's record figure. Some reasons for that included Marvel, a guy in red tights, and animated movies.

Disney was the biggest contributor to the record-breaking year, taking in over $7 billion at the worldwide box office thanks to titles like "Captain America: Civil War," "Finding Dory," and "Zootopia," which all earned over $1 billion in worldwide earnings.

Five of the top 10 worldwide box-office earners of 2016 are Disney titles (domestically it gets six out of the top 10).

Outside of the house that Walt built, 20th Century Fox's "Deadpool" was the biggest shock, taking in huge coin. And though they had lousy reviews, Warner Bros.' DC Comics movies "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Suicide Squad" still took in impressive figures.

Below are the 10 biggest worldwide box-office earners of 2016, and why "Rogue One" will climb up this list daily through the new year.
