The 2025 box office has already shown a significant improvement upon recent years. Theatrical exhibition has had a turbulent decade so far after theaters and productions alike were shut down worldwide in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Recovery has been sporadic, with theaters seeing huge record-breaking hits like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Top Gun: Maverick, and Avatar: The Way of Water interspersed with unpredictable duds. The 2024 release schedule was also complicated by a relative lack of tentpole blockbusters in the wake of the 2023 strikes, when actors and writers took to the picket lines to fight for fair pay.
Per Variety, the overall box office for 2025 as of the end of January is tracking 12.3% higher than the same point in 2024. It is also tracking 3.5% higher than January 2023, which was not yet affected by the strikes and had shown some pandemic recovery. This is happening on the strength of new release hits including One of Them Days, Dog Man, Companion, and Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, as well as successful holdover hits from 2024 such as A Complete Unknown, Moana 2, Mufasa: The Lion King, and Wicked.
