Nordic Box Office Contracts in 2024, But Finnish, Icelandic, Swedish Champions Mitigate Fall
Nordic audiences favor well-known IP and universes such as ‘Inside Out 2,’ the top-seller in Denmark, Norway, Sweden.
Contrastingly Denmark – usually the strongest performer in the Nordics – lost ground, especially with homegrown titles, partly due to a 10-year low volume of national premieres, while Norway also suffered from a lack of local tentpoles that led to the weakest year since the pandemic. Looking at 2025, Hansen was confident that the downturn in attendance would reverse with a plethora of audience-pullers from the U.S. and Denmark, such as the Danish Oscar contender “The Girl with the Needle,” “Checkered Ninja 3” (the third instalment in the hit animation franchise) and Mads Mikkelsen starrer “Back to Reality” from “Riders of Justice” helmer Anders Thomas Jensen. Only two local titles entered the Top 10, the WWII drama “Number 24” by “The Quake” director John Andreas Andersen, and the Qvisten Animation family film “The Brothers Gruff Go to Splash World,” although the latter premiered in December 2023.
