Fandango, North America's leading online movie ticketing service, has surveyed more than 8,000 ticket-buyers to find out which films and performances movie fans are most anticipating on the big screen in 2024.
According to the company's "2024 Most Anticipated Movies Survey," the films that fans are most excited to see include Deadpool 3, Beetlejuice 2, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Dune: Part Two, Venom 3, Despicable Me 4, Inside Out 2, and more.
"2023 was a monumental year for moviegoers and theaters alike, with blockbusters like Barbie, Oppenheimer, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and many more uniting audiences of all ages to experience brilliant stories on the big screen," Fandango Managing Director, Erik Davis, said in a press release today.
"The new year is looking to bring even more people back into theaters through returning franchises such as Deadpool, Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice and Despicable Me, beloved reimagined stories like Mean Girls and Wicked Part 1, and highly anticipated action blockbusters like Dune: Part Two and A Quiet Place: Day One."
The list of "Most Anticipated Superhero Movies" makes for particularly interesting reading. 2024's sole MCU movie, Deadpool 3, tops the list and is followed by Venom 3 which, somehow, beats Joker: Folie à Deux. It's hard to say what Transformers One and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire are doing on a list of superhero movies, but they both topped Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter (neither of which make the cut).
It's also not surprising to see that there's a huge amount of excitement among moviegoers to see more of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
