Box Office 2024: Hollywood Fails To Charm Indians, Deadpool & Wolverine, Godzilla X Kong Score Big

Hollywood Box Office 2024: This year has been dominated by sequels. While some originals did release on the big screens, they did not conquer the box office. At the ticket window, this year's titles have not worked well and none of the releases crossed the ₹100 crore nett mark in India yet. Last year, while Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer performed well, grossing over ₹131 crore, this year's business for Hollywood has been underwhelming, barring a few hits.

Hollywood box office collection in India in 2024

According to Sacnilk, so far 102 Hollywood movies have released in India, which have raked in close to ₹400 crore. Some movies that filed to make an impact at the box office despite the hype surrounding them are - Joker: Folie a Deux, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Madame Web, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and Anyone But You.
