Warner Bros. sets box office record in '09

Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. amassed a worldwide box office total of $3.99 billion in 2009, positioning it to be Hollywood's top earning film studio.

That amount includes $2.13 billion domestically, which exceeds their own previous record of $1.79 billion from last year.

"Breaking through a barrier like the $2 billion market -- that really makes a statement that I'm proud to be a part of," Warner's domestic distribution president Dan Fellman said.

"It just doesn't happen that easily. You really need to have a terrific schedule of great movies, as we have under film group president Jeff Robinov."

Paramount Pictures ranked second for the year with $1.44 billion, and Sony Pictures stood third with $1.43 billion.

Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, however, made $1.25 billion and landed fourth place. Walt Disney Pictures took the fifth slot with $1.18 billion, followed by Universal Pictures at No. 6 with $862 million.
