A look at the biggest box office hits and misses of 2024. From the success of Wicked and Inside Out 2 to the flop of Joker: Folie à Deux, 2024 saw a mix of expected and unexpected results.
From the unexpected success of Terrifier 3 to the unprecedented failure of Joker : Folie à Deux, there were a bunch of shocks and surprises at the box office in 2024.

But what those predictions didn’t count on was that the movie would be wildly polarizing. Critics switched between praising and panning it, and fans of the original film felt personally insulted by it.
