Biggest box office hits of 2024 so far, including Godzilla x Kong and Dune 2

Godzilla x Kong is climbing its way to the top of 2024’s box office chart, and has now overtaken Kung Fu Panda 4 to be crowned the year’s second biggest movie.

2023 was the year of Barbie, with Greta Gerwig’s inspired toy movie grossing $1.43 billion at the global box office. A huge number that was buoyed by the Barbenheimer phenomenon, thanks to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer coming in third with a haul of $970 million.

In between those two behemoths – with a haul of $1.36 billion – was the animated Super Mario Bros. Movie. While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Fast X rounded out the Top 15.

This year we’ve got Deadpool v Wolverine to look forward to, as well as Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, new Mad Max movie Furiosa, and sequels to Inside Out and Moana. While 2024’s current box office leader is Dune: Part Two.
