Both Kraven and LOTR bombed big time this weekend. They opened with 11 M and 5 M only. Pretty abysmal.

So far 20 films (4 less than last year) have crossed the $100M mark in 2023 but there are still 3 potentials.

If Red One hangs out until the end of the month it should cross the line.

Both Sonic and Mufasa could race quickly to the mark while adding more bucks in 2025.

It will be another $8B+ year domestic while falling a bit short from 2023.

Still, you have to account that none of the 2024 $100M films were additional box office bucks from the previous year.
In 2023 Avatar and Puss n Boots added over $400M to the yearly total in spite of being released in Dec of 2022.

We are still making roughly 300 films less per year since before covid.

Last year, only 8 films grossed 200 M or more domestically. This year there have been 8 already and you may have 2 more.

Inside Out 2 at almost 653 M will be the highest grossing film of the year. In 2023, Barbie made 636 M.

Not to dwell upon the negative, but I think it's safe to say that we know what the misses of 2024 were.

Joker 2, Madame Web, Kraven, LOTR, Transformers, Furiosa, and Harold and the Purple Crayon all crashed and burned.

Furthermore, Ghostbusters, Alien: Romulus and The Fall Guy only did modest business.

Disney had a great year, with 5 of the Top 10 highest grossing films, which would include The Lion King which is coming soon. Universal and Warner Bros. also did well.
