On the other hand, the hope is that this will be a stepping stone for an even richer 2020, seeing that one can and indeed one must not be content with these numbers.Įspecially since these data are the result of a record 2019 for Walt Disney ( which we’ve anticipated many times before, although it wasn’t a difficult prediction) that saw a grossing of 170 million from January 1st to December 31st (also an all-time record), also linked to the company’s need to have a strong offer for its newly formed Disney+ platform. It’s a really positive news that the box office increased compared to the disastrous 2018, and also 2017. It shows a strong growth compared to 20, but if we take the last ten years into consideration, then we’re in fifth place. It’s important to remember that these are Cinetel data, and are still slightly incomplete (the definitive version will be available in a few months). Let’s move on to the box office summary of the past ten years (click here for the interactive version): In addition, there were 8 movies that exceeded the 10 million threshold, against the 16 titles of 2019, a record number that had never happened in this millennium.



2018 had only one title that slightly exceeded the 20 million mark, Bohemian Rhapsody (even though it went on to continue its excellent run in 2019, reaching a total of 29 million). In other words, 2019 saw two movies grossing over 30 millions (which hasn’t happened since 2010) and a title like Joker that came really close. Then, by way of comparison, here’s the top 20 from 2018 ( here the interactive version):
