Sequels Rule

Half of the top 20 highest grossing films are follow-ups. Both Inside Out 2 and Kung Fu Panda 4 were released more than eight years after their preceding film, while Despicable Me 4 was released seven years after Despicable Me 3 (though Minions: The Rise of Gru) was released in the meantime.
America & China
Every film in the top 20 highest grossing films of 2024 was created by either America or China. Of the 20, five are Chinese while 15 are American.
