People had the same concerns about Beauty and the Beast when the first teaser trailer for that movie came out...it did $1.2B worldwide.
Yeah looking at it more closely and $8B is probably conservative for Disney this year.
As you mentioned Toy Story, Aladdin, and Lion King will be a licence to print money due to nostalgia and them being some of the most popular Disney franchises ever. Even Dumbo which I am concerned by the release date could overachieve because of the trailer looking really good, and Tim Burton having a pretty good following.
Plus I actually didn't realize how well Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Maleficent and Jungle Book live action movies had performed either, for some reason thought they were a disappointment but they all did at least $800M worldwide.
If Dumbo, Lion King, and Aladdin can perform to expectations of the previous live action remakes then Disney probably has a shot at $10B worldwide box office for movies released in 2019.
Looking at the closest proxy for each movie that's releasing this year:
Captain Marvel > Ant Man & Wasp - $700M
Dumbo > Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland - $1000M
Avengers > Infinity War - $2000M
Aladdin > Beauty & The Beast - $1200M
Toy Story 4 > Toy Story 3 - $1100M
Lion King > Beauty and the Beast - $1200M
Artemis Fowl > Tomorrowland - $200M
Frozen 2 > Frozen - $1300M
Star Wars 9 > Last Jedi - $1300M
That's $10B right there and those totals probably aren't that aggressive.

Look...I hate the Box Office BS because its a flawed metric to determine the quality of movies. A movie that made a lot of money isnt necessarily any good. Spiderman 3 You know it. I see you reading this.
But that list of Disney films? They'd have to try really hard to screw those up.
