Original and latest! In the TOP 10 of the global box office list in 2024, only one movie in China was shortlisted!

In 2024, the global film industry is surging, and all major films are staged after you sing, and the box office list is even more exciting.

Today, let’s talk about the "tough characters" on the global box office list in 2024 and see which movies can stand out in the box office war and occupy the top ten on the list!

Tenth place: Wicked.

Director: Jon M. Chu

Starring: Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

Release date: November 27th, 2024 (USA) December 6th, 2024 (Chinese mainland).

Box office: $480 million

This film, adapted from Broadway musical of the same name, tells the witch legend behind the story of The Wizard of Oz. The process of two witches from acquaintance to enemy reveals the complex relationship between good and evil.

The film’s box office success of $480 million is due to its strong IP foundation, and the musical version has already accumulated a large number of fans in North America and some overseas countries.

On the other hand, the visual effects and music production of the film are first-class, which makes the audience feel as if they are in the fantastic world of Oz.

Especially in the North American market, but the box office in China is very bleak. Since its release on December 6th, it has only earned more than 10 million RMB, which is unacceptable.

Ninth place: YOLO

Director: Jia Ling

Starring: Jia Ling, Lei Jiayin and Zhang Xiaofei.

Release date: February 10, 2024 (China)

Box office: $496 million

The only mainland China movie in the top 10 of the global box office list in 2024, thanks to the explosion of this year’s Spring Festival file, this movie is currently the box office champion in the mainland.

YOLO, adapted from the Japanese film Love of Hundred Yuan, tells the story of Du Leying (Jia Ling), a little person who is repeatedly bullied by people around him. She decided to rebuild herself and prove her worth by losing weight and boxing.

When the film was released, it was controversial. It was thought that the marketing of this TV series was great and it was a weight loss documentary.

However, from the box office alone, this film is definitely the winner of this year’s film, but the global $496 million is basically from the domestic market, and overseas markets do not pay the bill.

Eighth place: Moana 2

Directors: John Musker and Ron Clements.

Release date: June 21st, 2024 (USA) and November 29th, 2024 (Chinese mainland).

Box office: $544 million

"Ocean Romance 2" is an adventure animated film released by Disney Animation Studio, which continues to tell the wonderful adventure between Moana and Maui.

On the basis of the first film, Ocean Romance 2 continues to lead the audience to explore the mysterious ocean world. After experiencing a series of new challenges, Moana and Maui discovered more mysterious marine secrets.

However, it is obvious that the second part is not as brilliant as "Ocean Romance 1" and its reputation is average.

But with the bonus of the first film, Disney’s ace production and basic picture quality, there is nothing to say about music.

Similarly, most of the box office receipts of this film are overseas, and the mainland has only 77 million yuan at present.

Seventh place: Kung fu panda 4》(Kung Fu Panda 4)

Director: Jennifer Yuh Nelson

Release date: May 10, 2024 (USA) March 22, 2024 (Chinese mainland)

Box office: $550 million

As the fourth film in the Kung Fu Panda series, IP has a high global reputation and a strong China element.

Our old friend Po is back again. This time he will face new enemies and learn more advanced kung fu. The film continues the series of humorous styles and wonderful fighting scenes, and is deeply loved by audiences all over the world.

However, this series may be a little aesthetic fatigue, not too much surprise, and compared with the first three, both the plot and the quality are greatly backward.

The content is still very pleasing to the audience in China, with an income of 330 million in Chinese mainland, which is considered as passing.

Sixth place: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Director: Adam Wingard.

Starring: Alexander Skarsg?rd and Rebecca Hall.

Release date: April 12, 2024 (USA/Chinese mainland)

Box office: $580 million

Godzilla vs king kong 2: The Rise of the Empire is a sci-fi action movie jointly released by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.. The film continues to tell about the fierce battle between Godzilla and King Kong and the new threats they face together.

Fifth place: Venom: The Last Dance.

Director: Andy Serkis.

Starring: Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams.

Release date: October 23rd, 2024 (Chinese mainland)/October 25th, 2024 (USA).

Box office: $588 million

The third and final work in the venom series, Eddie Brock’s relationship with symbiont venom is facing new challenges, but also ushered in a more powerful enemy.

There are still many fans of Tom Hardy’s "Tang Laoshi" in the world, and venom has become a representative role of him.

Sony Pictures’ strong production strength and the influence of Marvel Comics’s role are reliable guarantees for the box office of this film.

This movie is still very impressive at the box office in Chinese mainland, with a box office income of 680 million RMB, which is quite outstanding among the sci-fi blockbusters in recent years.

Fourth place: Dune: Part Two

Director: Denis Villeneuve.

Starring: Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.

Release date: March 8, 2024 (Chinese mainland)/February 28, 2024 (France)/March 1, 2024 (USA).

Box office: $782 million

Dune 2 is a sci-fi adventure film jointly launched by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., which continues the previous story and tells the adventure story of Paul E. Cui Di on the dune planet.

When Dune 1 was released, it was vomited by many viewers, and its performance was lower than expected. It didn’t restore the magnificent world in the original, and the plot of the film was too thin.

However, "Dune 2" has surpassed the previous work in all aspects, whether it is the special effects scene or the thickness of the theme, it can be called a masterpiece.

Director: Chris Renaud.

Release date: July 3, 2024 (USA) July 12, 2024 (Chinese mainland)

Box office: $1 billion

"Daddy Thief 4" has reached the fourth film, but the quality of the film is indeed worse than that of the last one. The joyful feeling of Despicable Me 1 at first has almost disappeared.

In this film, Gru, his family and Minions once again embark on new adventures, face new challenges and enemies, and continue their funny journey.

The film continues a series of consistent humorous styles and warm family themes. Thanks to the classic and beloved Minions of this series of films, it is still very popular with families and children.

The box office in Chinese mainland has reached 382 million RMB, which is quite good. After all, it’s just a happy popcorn movie.

Second place: Deadpool & Wolverine.

Director: Shawn Levy.

Main actors: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman.

Release date: July 26th, 2024 (USA)

Box office: $1.329 billion

Gossip is better than Deadpool and Wolverine, which is hard enough. I believe many people will like it, especially for Marvel Comics fans.

Marvel Comics’s film is the most successful work in recent years. Since Avengers 4, Marvel Comics’s performance in the film makes people feel that Jiang Lang has run out of talent.

For the first time, this film will join hands with the two popular characters, Death Waiter and Wolverine, on the big screen to face new threats together and launch an adventure full of action and humor.

This film can be regarded as Marvel Comics’s successful turnaround. The popularity and wonderful performance of the two leading actors make the film popular all over the world.

However, compared with the fanaticism in North Chinese mainland and overseas markets, the feedback from the market to this film is average, with a revenue of only 430 million, which is not as high as that of Venom 3.

First place: Inside Out 2.

Director: Chersi Mann.

Release date: June 14th, 2024 (USA) June 21st, 2024 (Chinese mainland).

Box office: $1.757 billion

Pixar Animation’s annual specialty is definitely a boutique. Brainstorming 2 is also a sequel.

Seven films in the top 10 box office list this year are sequels of a series of films. It seems that the market still pays more attention to films with good viewing foundation.

The film "Brain Agents 2" continues the previous work, focusing on Riley who entered adolescence. Her emotional world has changed, and she tries to integrate into society while coping with social anxiety.

This "Brain Agents 2" is similar in color to the first one. Although it is not as surprising as the first one, the beautiful picture, smooth plot and delicate emotions are all in place.

With reliable quality and the powerful influence of the first film, this film has performed exceptionally well in the global box office market.

The box office revenue of $1.757 billion has surpassed The Lion King to become the eighth in the world’s historical box office.

However, the film’s performance in China market is relatively dull, with a revenue of only 350 million RMB, which is a little less than the film’s global revenue of 12.2 billion RMB.

The above is the top 10 ranking of the latest global box office list in 2024.
