It’s the very first time in years that a non-sequel has actually covered the year-end ticket office. Indeed, of the 10 highest-grossing movies of the year, fifty percent are component of recurring collection. “The Little Mermaid,” at the same time, is a remake.
But the top 2 movies, “Barbie” and No. 2 “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” are both standalone homes (in the meantime). Christopher Nolan’s historic dramatization “Oppenheimer” completed the top 3 with its $951 million haul.

After covering the 2022 ticket office graphes with “Top Gun: Maverick” — (*3*); divided its $2.3 billion ticket office haul in between 2022 and 2023 — Tom Cruise made an additional look in the top 10 with his most recent “Mission Impossible” follow up.
