Top Comic Book Movies of 2023

Here are the grosses of comic book-related movies released in 2023—ranked by domestic (U.S.) box office—according to Box Office Mojo:

1. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: $381M ($690M)
   
2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: $358M ($846M)
3. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: $215M ($476M)
   
4. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: $124M ($434M)
   
5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem: $119M ($180M)
   
6. The Flash: $108M ($271M)
   
7. The Marvels: $85M ($206M)
   
8. Blue Beetle: $72M ($131M)
   
9. Shazam! Fury of the Gods: $58M ($134M)
   
10. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Swordsmith Village: $10M ($56M)
    
11. Knights of the Zodiac: $1M ($7M)
12. Shortcomings: $0.7M ($0.7M)
    

This year we put the Worldwide box office in parentheses after the domestic box office, where you can see that Guardians 3 was the top comic book film worldwide, and many (though not all) of the movies did more business overseas than domestically. 

Movies scheduled for 2024 release include: Madame Web (Feb); They Shot the Piano Player (Feb); Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Hashira Training (Feb); Robot Dreams (May); The Crow (Jun); The Garfield Movie (May); Deadpool and Wolverine (Jul); Hellboy: The Crooked Man (Jul); Kraven the Hunter (Aug Dec); Joker: Folie à Deux (Oct); Look Back (Oct); Venom 3 (Nov); Red Sonja (TBD).

Commentary:  

• Actually Waverider wasn't on the comics chart this week, but it's overall sales rank placed it comfortably ahead of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse; which means that Amazon decided to reclassify it—probably with the kids graphic novels—even though the Amulet #1-8 Box Set remains on the main comics chart. I'm not going to go and cross check the kids chart and the main chart every week, but when a great injustice like this is done I'll make an exception.
• The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of the new issue of Fall of the House of X, which leads a relatively light batch of Kindle single issues this week.
• Print debuts are led by pre-orders for the two recently announced DC Versus Marvel team-up omnibuses that were announced this week. Two more pre-orders round out this week's debuts: X-Men: The Manga: Remastered and a forthcoming volume of Judd Winick's Hilo series.

Commentary:  

• The final volume of Amulet stays on top for the third straight week.
• The top debut is the pre-order for an upcoming issue of Monstress, which leads the way in a slew of single issues this week (mostly pre-orders).
• Now that the latest volume of Chainsaw Man has been released, the next forthcoming volume dutifully shows up on the chart as a pre-order, and is the sole print debut this week.

Commentary: 

• Apropos for Groundhog Day, this week's top three comics are the same as last week's, with the final volume of Amulet once again leading the way.
• The top debut this week is the first issue of Dead X-Men, as apparently the Krakoan Saga is moving towards a resolution later this year.
• The top print debut this week is Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations, Mira Jacob's graphic memoir that was published back in 2020.

Commentary:  

• The year's first big release is here: Waverider, the final volume of Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet series, moves into the top spot with its release this week after many weeks milling about the lower portions of the chart in pre-release. The box set containing the first eight volumes returns to the list, and I suspect that the individual previous volumes are being sequestered in Amazon's kids GN chart and thus don't appear here.
• This week's other big release—a new volume of Solo Leveling—moves up to the #3 spot, and the Kindle edition also debuts this week.
• This week's top new item is the first issue of Resurrection of Magneto. The top print debut is a forthcoming volume of Dragon Ball Super.

Commentary:  

• The first two issues of February's weekly Batman story "The Joker Year One" debut in the top two spots on this week's chart, signaling a strong interest in the event.
• Plenty of Kindle single issue debuts this week, but the only print debut is a new volume of One-Punch Man.
• Just as an aside, it seems odd that no one is publishing a Barbie comic right now?

Commentary:  

• It's a big week for Ultimate Spider-Man—on the week of its release, the first issue on Kindle jumps way up to the top spot, and pre-orders for the second and third issues debut in the top ten. To top things off, the pre-order for the eventual collected edition is this week's top print debut.
• Also debuting this week is the pre-order for a forthcoming volume of Solo Leveling, and several previous volumes return to the top fifty this week. Rounding out this week's print debuts is the latest volume of Komi Can't Communicate.
• Kind of a muted University Effect so far this year: Persepolis moves up the chart, Understanding Comics returns this week, as do a couple of versions of Maus.

Commentary:  

• The Far Side 2024 Off-the-Wall Calendar returns to the top of the chart after a week at #2. The last week of December is traditionally a good week for comic calendar sales; several return to the chart this week, and the 2024 Argyle Sweater calendar makes its debut.
• This week's top debut is the Kidnle single issue of Immortal X-Men #18. Other single issues include Duke #1, Timeless #1, and X-Force #47. Also debuting this week is a volume of manga Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time on Kindle.
• A huge jump up on the chart for volumes of Jujutsu Kaisen, as the second season of the anime wrapped up airing this week.
  
• That's it for this year—see you again in 2024!
