Top Comic Book Movies of 2024

Deadpool & Wolverine

Here are the grosses of comic book-related movies released in 2024—ranked by domestic (U.S.) box office—according to Box Office Mojo:

  1. Deadpool & Wolverine: $637M ($1.34B)
  2. Venom: The Last Dance: $140M ($479M)
  3. The Garfield Movie: $92M ($235M)
  4. Joker: Folie à Deux: $58M ($208M)
  5. Madame Web: $44M ($100M)
  6. Kraven the Hunter: $25M ($62M)
  7. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Hashira Training: $18M ($44M)
  8. Here: $12M ($16M)
  9. The Crow: $9M ($24M)
  10. Spy x Family – Code: White: $8M ($60M)
  11. Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle: $7M ($100M)
  12. My Hero Academia: You're Next: $5M ($32M)
  13. Look Back: $2M ($13M)
  14. Robot Dreams: $875K ($4.7M)
  15. They Shot the Piano Player: $59K ($381K) 

Once again we've put the worldwide box office figures in parentheses, where you can see that many (most?) movies now do the bulk of their business overseas. 

Aside from Deadpool & Wolverine, it was not a great year for comic book movies. Sony's decision to flood the theaters with movies based on Spider-Man villains tanked (although Venom 3 did okay internationally). And both Here and The Crow were highly publicized duds, both critically and at the box office.

Movies scheduled for release in 2025 include: Dog Man (Jan); Captain America: Brave New World (Feb); Witch Watch (Mar); Thunderbolts* (May); Superman (Jul); The Smurfs Movie (Jul); The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Jul); Red Sonja (???)
