" disparan la taquilla" I understand it means shoot the blockbusters, as in movies. Is this an idiom and for what? Is there a list of known idioms? I looked online and didn't find any.

We have an idiom disparar meaning to pay/buy, so in this case they are talking about women buying tickets at the cinema.
It's more common, however, to use this idiom when buying something for somebody else, ie: Yo te disparo ... I am buying (I'll buy it for you).
