An excellent summer recap by Pamela McClintock for The Hollywood Reporter featuring our exclusive Comscore Movies Comscore, Inc. data!
The numbers are in — domestic revenue for the 2024 summer box office hit an estimated $3.67 billion, down 10.3 percent over 2023, according to final numbers issued Tuesday by Comscore. As counterintuitive as it may seem, Hollywood studio executives and theater owners aren’t panicking.
Sony’s June offering Bad Boys: Ride or Die set into motion a major reset and a two-month box office recovery that made the “sins of the past disappear quickly in the rear-view mirror,” says Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
“The reversal of fortune for theaters in the middle months of the summer season was astonishing and a lesson in how unpredictable and yet resilient this industry has always proven itself to be despite the negative Chicken Little prognostications that occur every time there is a box office downturn,” says Dergarabedian.
