There have been some great movies out in 2024, but film fans already can't wait for next year’s blockbusters. According to the latest figures, Avatar: Fire and Ash is the early favourite to smash the $1bn mark at the box office. The previous two films in the franchise both went above and beyond, hitting the $2bn mark – making them some of the highest-grossing films of all time. Other films which could hit $1bn is Jurassic World Rebirth, with the last three Jurassic Park films hitting that mark, along with the 1993 original. There’s a pattern emerging that those films with prior success, it’s a good indicator that people will tune in. Hopefully they don’t go the same way as Joker: Folie a Deux, which received scathing reviews from critics

Further Survey Findings

It also emerged one in five adults visit the cinema every few months, with 15 per cent going once a month.

But that could increase next year, as one in five plan to visit the big screen more often than they currently do, with only one in 10 expecting to reduce their visits.

Cinemas should take note, as the maximum amount people are willing to fork out is £10.98 per ticket.

Affordable ticket prices (63 per cent), comfortable seating (56 per cent), along with good location and parking (45 per cent) are also important to movie fans when choosing where to watch movies.

The main reasons those polled go to the cinema are for entertainment purposes (64 per cent), to watch new releases (38 per cent), and as a social activity (32 per cent).

Partners (56 per cent) are the people we most commonly go to the cinema with, ahead of friends (16 per cent) and going alone (10 per cent).

While action (45 per cent), thrillers (38 per cent), and comedy (36 per cent) are the most popular film genres, according to the research carried out through OnePoll.
