Music is actually much much much smaller than people realize. It's given as much importance as movies, but I don't even think it's 1/10 the size of movies.

And even the movie business is pretty small. This infographic puts the size of the entire market at a fairly paltry 65 billion a year.

Disney's studio arm pulled in just shy of 6 billion last year. Parks and Resorts brought in 14 billion.
