‘Moana 2,’ ‘Wicked’ and More Year-End Releases Push 2024 Global Box Office to $30 Billion
The global box office wrapped up 2024 with a bang, hitting $30 billion for the year.
Despite the lingering aftershocks of the 2023 Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes, which throttled the release calendar, the combined international (excluding China) and North American markets held their ground with $24.2 billion in 2024 — just a 3% dip from 2023. While the global box office’s $30 billion haul marks a 7% year-on-year decline (at current exchange rates), the figure comfortably outpaces prior recovery years, signaling resilience amid industry headwinds. Gower Street pointed to a strengthened U.S. dollar as a complicating factor for international markets, widening the year-on-year gap to 11% when assessed at historical exchange rates.
