(CNN) When it comes to Disney and summer box-office hits, it really is a small world after all, as the studio -- having bulked up on marquee properties -- continues to dwarf the competition. "Avengers: Endgame" is the story of the year, within striking distance of "Avatar's" mark as the top-grossing movie worldwide of all time. "Aladdin" has flown high as well, bearing down on $300 million in North American ticket sales. The next several weeks promise to bring Mousketeers more good news, with big returns for "Toy Story 4" this weekend and more anticipated for "The Lion King," which premieres on July 19. That last title comes from 20th Century Fox, which became part of Disney in an acquisition earlier this year.
