Global Box Office Revenue Forecasted to Reach $33 Billion in 2025

Analysts predict an 8% increase over 2024, driven by major franchise releases and diverse studio slates.

Gower Street Analytics projects 2025 global box office revenue at $33 billion, marking an 8% rise from 2024’s estimated $30.5 billion.
North America is expected to generate $9.7 billion, a 9% increase from 2024, while international markets (excluding China) are forecasted to grow 7% to $16.8 billion.
China’s box office is conservatively estimated at $6.6 billion, though analysts note its unpredictability due to reduced reliance on Hollywood films.
Key 2025 releases include new entries in the 'Avatar,' Marvel, 'Mission: Impossible,' and 'Jurassic World' franchises, alongside Disney’s 'Zootopia 2' and James Gunn’s 'Superman.'
While projections remain 14% below pre-pandemic averages at historic exchange rates, adjusted figures suggest a 1% improvement over 2023.
