Online ticket seller Fandango polled 8,000 of its customers to ask what movies they are most looking forward to next year. Their “2024 Most Anticipated Movies” list includes Marvel’s DEADPOOL 3 topped the list, followed by BEETLEJUICE 2 (#2), GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE (#3), DUNE: PART TWO (#4) and VENOM 3 (#5). The most-anticipated family movies were DESPICABLE ME 4 (#6) and INSIDE OUT 2 (#7).
The survey also asked respondents to offer their opinion of the moviegoing experience, with 80% saying that the theatrical experience was superior to at-home viewing. 81% said that they were more excited about the movies coming in 2024 compared to titles from 2023, with 88% declaring that they intended to go to theatres to see multiple films in the upcoming year.
Enthusiastic support from moviegoers will be important for exhibitors, as there will still be fewer new theatrical releases in 2024 than before the pandemic, partly due to Hollywood’s extended labor strikes in 2023.
