Key Highlights

  • With 2025 expected to file between $8.8 billion-$8.9 billion, essentially, it’s the difference of one tentpole not working, so, take your pick: Paramount‘s Running Man, Disney’s Tron: Ares and/or Elio.
  • That miss aside, the domestic box office post-Covid has a good thing going on with the third $8.5B+ year in a row.
  • How long then can the entertainment industry keep theatrical moviegoing alive in the face of the potential gloom and doom from Netflix‘s anticipated swallow-up of Warner Bros?
  • The pandemic and the 2023 strikes dashed all hopes of box office rebuilding to a $10B-$11B annual business.
  • Give thanks for what we have: the second-best year at the B. O.
