Yeah you’re sort of right, 5 of the top 10 on this list are from Disney, including 2 Marvel properties: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2019&p=.htm

But what I’m talking about is if you scroll down this list, 8 of the top 100 are from Disney unless I’m missing a studio name, I’m counting BV and MGM. So those 5 are pretty much all the 2019 blockbusters you’ll get from the service in a few months.

Well 6, SpiderMan was released and financed by Sony but Disney did all of the writing and producing. Sony's last two Spiderman movies before they did a deal with Disney were a flop.

Sony owns the distribution rights and might own them well into the future, which is what we're talking about here.
