In 2024, the box office has seen limited success so far. Ticket sales experienced a drop due to a shortage of blockbusters.
While films, like “Argylle,” were not worthy of release, some others managed to draw significant crowds, such as "Dune: Part Two" and "Inside Out 2.”
There were also redemption stories, just to mention Will Smith with another “Bad Boys” installment and “Garfield,” showing how some kitties can indeed have nine lives.
