As I already announced in a news item at the end of last month, the ten biggest box office hits of 2024 have been sequels, a historical fact that has occurred this year for the first time in history.
Four weeks later and a few premieres later, the figures we are facing remain almost the same and, although some productions that enter the Top 10 have broken this streak, in the Top 5 the sequels continue to prevailwith some last minute additions.
There is no one who has been able to go down to Del revés 2 (Inside Out 2) from the podium since its theatrical release last summer. The new tape Pixarthe long-awaited sequel to one of the company's biggest hits, leads the international box office with a gross of more than 1,698 million dollars.
Also under the Disney umbrella is the second highest-grossing release of 2024, Deadpool and Wolverinethe new Marvel film that brought together again Ryan Reynolds y Hugh Jackman on screen, managing to accumulate more than 1,338 million dollars worldwide.
Disney triumphs at the 2024 box office
The next two feature films leave room for new studies – although we will return to Disney at the end -, with the third reaffirming that Family cinema continues to be the great ally of theaters.
Crane 4. I rude favoritethe fourth installment of this long-running animated saga Illumination full of spin-offs, sneaks in like the third highest grossing film of the yearwith a collection of almost 970 million dollars.
In fourth position is Dune: Part Twothe second installment of the film saga of Denis Villeneuve which adapts the novels of Frank Herbert to the big screen. The first installment was successful, but its figures cannot be measured with those achieved by its sequel.
The more than 402 million dollars that the first installment of Dune they pale before the more than 714 million of its second part, which make us predict overwhelming success for its next installment, Dune: Messiahwith which the trilogy will close in 2026.
Up to this point, the list remains the same as what we saw last November. But, as I already warned a little above, Disney returned to the big screen three weeks ago with an infallible bet: Vaiana 2.
Vaiana 2although initially it was going to be an exclusive series for Disney Plus, it has ended up becoming one of Disney's big film bets for the end of 2024and that he has managed to snatch from Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire its fifth position at the global box office thanks to its collection of more than 616 million dollars.
