Walt Disney reported earnings that topped Wall Street's estimates on Thursday, propelled by blockbuster ticket sales from the rude and irreverent summer Marvel film "Deadpool & Wolverine," and provided an upbeat forecast for the coming year.

Disney on Thursday reported fourth-quarter adjusted profits that surpassed Wall Street's expectations. Driven by strong performances from its entertainment division and streaming services, these results highlight the company's successful strategy in capitalizing on high-demand content and digital offerings.

The streaming profit and studio are bright spots, while income from cable and theme parks declines.
