to remember

Banish the natural, does he return to the gallop? In 2023, Barbie, Super Mario Bros. And Oppenheimer made a splash with established franchises (Mission: Impossible, Indiana Jones, Marvel, DC, Fast & Furious, etc.) that seemed promising at the box office. We won’t go so far as to talk about original projects, but their success brought a bit of innovation to an industry that seemed to be spinning.

A year on, the global box office seems to have bounced back as we look at the ten biggest hits of 2024, which include… nine sequels. Worse: You have to go down to Blue & Company, at No. 24, to find the first feature film not based on an existing brand.

Box office with full franchise(s).

Of course, franchise supremacy is nothing new, and 100% of the top 10 in 2022 consisted of sequels. But 2023 has raised hopes of change and less predictable box office struggles to materialize. Perhaps also because of the reduced presence of great authors who can bring audiences back to theaters or the rejection of the large-scale works of George Miller’s Furiosa and Francis Ford Coppola’s Megapolis.

in this context, evil is almost a no-brainer, with its new status as the biggest success to adapt a Broadway show for the cinema. And all indications are that its second installment, due in November, could rank even higher when it comes time for the 2025 assessment.

Disney, meanwhile, stands out as the big winner in a year with numbers close to 2023, with just over two billion dollars in movies. But these are his, namely Deadpool & Wolverine And above all On the contrary 2Last year’s champion, which hasn’t happened to a studio animated film since 2013 and the success of Frozen.

With more than $1.3 billion in revenue, Deadpool & Wolverine came very close to returning to the superhero throne, and Marvel will have to confirm that the machine will be restarted with three of its films in 2025 (Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four) or else , that success remains only an epiphenomenon, thanks to the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and the promise of various and varied cameos.

Avatar 3, the future king of 2025?

And while Moana 2 May join the billionaire club for the rest of its existence and that BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice It turned out to be a pleasant surprise that would allow Tim Burton to return to success, betting on who will be in the top 10 of 2025, which we already imagine will be occupied by Avatar 3.

Mission: Impossible 8, which promises to be the end of the saga? Zootopia 2, who can push a career worthy of sequels like Vice Versa and Moana? One of Marvel Studios’ opus or James Gunn’s Superman, the beginning of the new DC Universe? A billionaire Jurassic World Rebirth like the last three episodes of the saga? Bong Joon-Ho’s Mickey 17? Judgment in one year!
