Walt Disney beat revenue and earnings projections for the holiday quarter.

The entertainment giant on Monday credited its theme parks and the movie Zootopia 2.

Disney's parks, cruises and consumer products units carried the period.

They made $10 billion in revenue and just under three quarters of the company's operating profit of close to $5 billion.

Walt Disney World particularly performed strongly compared to a year earlier.

That was when Hurricane Milton forced Orlando based Attractions to close.

The company's overall revenue rose 5% to $26 billion for its fiscal first quarter ended late December, just ahead of analyst forecasts.

Disney's entertainment unit includes the company's film studios, television networks and streaming services.

It reported revenue of $11.6 billion in the quarter, up 7% from a year ago.

It was driven by holiday releases, including Zootopia 2.

Data shows the Disney animated sequel brought in nearly $1.8 billion in worldwide ticket sales.

Another Disney project, Avatar Fire and ASH, grossed $1.4 billion globally.

However, the entertainment unit reported operating profit fell just over a third year on year.

It put that on the costs of marketing Avatar and eight other films.

Disney's streaming services saw revenue rise to $4.4 billion, up 13% from a year ago.

Looking ahead, the company held its four year forecast of double digit per share earnings growth.

It estimates it will bring in $19 billion in cash from operations and believes it is on Track to repurchase $7 billion in stock.

Disney is also expected to name a new chief executive to replace Bob Iger early this year.

Hollywood executives believe Josh d' Amaro is the frontrunner.

He is currently chairman of the Experiences Division.
