## 商业模式
Disney Studios operates as a portfolio of labels: Walt Disney Pictures (family/animation), Pixar (premium animation), Marvel Studios (superhero franchise), Lucasfilm (Star Wars/Indiana Jones), 20th Century Studios (adult/general audience), and Searchlight Pictures (arthouse). Revenue flows from theatrical box office, Disney+ licensing, home entertainment, and — critically — driving downstream theme park attractions and merchandise. A successful film can generate 3-5x its box office in ancillary revenue.
