Disney took 45% of the US box office in 2019. Much more if if you narrow it to kids media. There are few competitors in either market so it's an oligopoly. You can see the effect in spiraling prices.
Amazon only managed 35% of ecommerce. There are a lot of other companies trying to eat their market (Ebay, Shopify, Ali). Hence prices there stay low.
