    The top ten box office movies for 2024 had 8 sequels, a live action Disney remake, and the first part of an adaptation of a Broadway musical based on a book which was a prequel to another remade movie based on a book.

    I reckon the 2025 list reflects the state of the industry quite well.

      It shows how much brand recognition drives the industry at that level (top 10s).

      I’m not helping, reflecting on last year we saw the following in cinemas:

      • Paddington in Peru
      • Sonic the Hedgehog 3
      • Moana 2
      • Dragon Ball DAIMA
      • Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
      • Despicable Me 4
      • Inside Out 2
      • The Garfield Movie

      Not a new IP in the list.
