Disney provided some new info about its theatrical schedule stretching through 2019.
In addition to an ambitious movie plan announced last fall, the studio has called dibs on a few more weekends with untitled projects, including more fairy-tale adventures.
With the recent enormous success of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," and the even more surprising staying power of "Zootopia" and "The Jungle Book," Disney really looks like the studio to beat. In fact, it's on track to have its biggest year ever at the box office.
Its lineup of movies includes a mix of animated films, superheroes, reboots, sequels, and multiple trips to a galaxy far, far away.
Here is everything you can expect to see from Disney from now through 2019:
This year we'll get a reboot of "Pete's Dragon," starring Bryce Dallas Howard.
