Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Most of May's biggest movies failed to meet box office expectations, and the results are even worse when taking a collective look at the month's disappointing performance. Heading into the month, there was reason for optimism about the struggling 2024 box office getting a much-needed boost as the summer season began.
2024's Movies Have The Lowest May Box Office Since 1998 2024 Is A 26 Year Low Close The entire month of May only made $520 million at the domestic box office. This is the lowest mark for May dating back to 1999 when theaters sold $610 million worth of tickets. It came down to the final days of the month for 2024 to edge out 1998's $510 million total.
Instead of 2024 building on the success of 2022 and 2023, May's domestic box office dropped 32% from the prior year. This happened even though there were more movies playing in theaters in May 2024 than last year. However, the 109 movies that contributed to 2024's May box office are the lowest since 2001, with post-COVID years excluded again.
There is no one all-encompassing explanation for why 2024's biggest May releases tended to disappoint at the box office. Quick at-home viewing options like what happened with The Fall Guy's digital release typically do not help.
