This week, a number of releases through Amazon.com (for which The Completist Geek receives a small referral fee). The most exciting is the 4-CD Fantasia soundtrack. It includes the original 1940 soundtrack (remastered, ‘natch!) as well as the 1984 re-recording under the direction of Disney musical mastermind Irwin Kostal. As well, new to public release (unless you found them at Wal-Mart before Christmas) are the previously-only-available-at-Disney-Movie-Club releases of Tale Spin, Goof Troop, Gargoyles, DuckTales: The Movie – Treasure of the Lost Lamp, & The Incredible Journey. Add some Disney Infinity 2.0 power discs and a huge handful of Disney-era Miramax movies, and it’s an excellent week for Disney releases. See them all after the link.

For the week of January 2, 2015 – January 8, 2015, here’s Disney’s Box Office performance (all numbers courtesy of Box Office Mojo):

3. Into The Woods ~ $23.3M (down from #2; $95.5M total)
11. Big Hero 6 ~ $5.8M (down from #10; $212.2M total)
23. P.K. (UTV) ~ $925K (down from #16; $10M total)
28. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day ~ $363K (down from #26; $66M total)
36. Guardians of the Galaxy ~ $114K (down from #34; $333M total)
55. The Tale of The Princess Kaguya (GKids) ~ $13.5K (up from #59; $594K total)

Disney fared very well at the 2014 Box Office. With the #1 film, a box office surprise in Guardians of the Galaxy, Disney had a great year. Marvel had that and Captain America in #3 and Big Hero 6 (sort of) in #9 and still playing. Disney Studios had #6 with Maleficent, and Disney characters appeared in both #4 The Lego Movie and #7 X-Men: Days of Future Past. 28 films in total have a piece of Disney in them, with a total of $2.183 Billion dollars take at the box (again, not all of that goes into Disney’s pockets). However, it was a very good year.
