  • \n Global box office revenue of the most successful movies of all time as of 2023\n
    \n Published by\n Statista Research Department,\n \n Sep 26, 2023\n
    \n As of July 2023, \"Avatar\" (2009) was the most commercially successful movie of all time, grossing about 2.92 billion U.S. dollars at box offices across the globe. \"Avengers: Endgame\" (2019) and \"Avatar: The Way of Water \" (2022) followed, with revenues of around 2.8 billion and 2.32 billion dollars, respectively.

    Franchises and the pandemic impact

    \r\nIn 2021, worldwide box office revenue grew by over 80 percent and reached 21.3 billion dollars. Yet the figure amounts to less than 51 percent of the value recorded in 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak. Yet the success of \"Spider-Man: No Way Home\" (2021) suggests that the performance of major movie franchises at the box office may continue strong in a post-pandemic scenario. The format, which includes cases like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars, has been a safe bet for Hollywood as it tends to pursue fans already interested in films part of consolidated brands.

    U.S. & Canada as a movie market

    \r\nMoviegoers in Canada and the U.S. usually turn to the largest players of this industry. North American cinema circuits such as AMC, Cineworld, Cinemark, and Cineplex have over 1.5 thousand sites spread across the two countries. Historically, movie genres like adventure and action attract most of the audience in the U.S. and Canada. Meanwhile, niches such as horror, romantic comedy (romcoms), and musicals rely largely on the most enthusiastic fans of each segment.\n

    \n Global box office revenue 2014-2021, by format\n
    \n Published by\n Statista Research Department,\n \n Dec 7, 2023\n
    \n In 2021, the global box office revenue added up to approximately 21.3 billion U.S. dollars, up from 11.8 billion dollars a year earlier \u2013 an annual increase of 80.5 percent. Still, the 2021 result amounted to only little more than half of the 42.3-billion-dollar box office revenue recorded in 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak. Furthermore, the share of 3D films in the global revenue went from six percent in 2020 to 6.6 percent in 2021.

    Cinema market: a challenging comeback

    \r\nThe pandemic changed the film industry by emptying movie theaters and accelerating the increase in video streaming penetration. In the so-called North American movie market \u2013 which consists of Canada and the United States (including the unincorporated territories of Guam and Puerto Rico) \u2013 the box office revenue more than doubled between 2020 and 2021. But the latter figure amounted to less than 40 percent of the pre-COVID-19 result. Meanwhile, subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) platforms went even further. Netflix kept the top spot while new competitors such as Disney+ diversified the offering.

    Big players on the big screen

    \r\nThe global cinema segment spans way beyond North America, though. China alone sold more than 1.1 billion movie tickets throughout 2021, making it the leading market worldwide, right above the U.S. India ranked third with almost 380 million tickets sold that same year. With a vast film culture \u2013 even larger than its iconic Bollywood industry \u2013 India and its cinema feature a myriad of languages and advertising opportunities to its gargantuan audience.\n

      Henry Kissinger with the Chinese leader, Mao Zedong, and premier, Zhou Enlai, in 1973 in Beijing. Kissinger was instrumental in brokering the detente between China and the US, which he saw as a key component in extricating America from the Vietnam war and in balancing the cold war superpowers. Kissinger had travelled secretly to Beijing in 1971 to negotiate President Richard Nixon\u2019s visit the following year.

    Kissinger shakes hands with Le Duc Tho, leader of the North Vietnam delegation, after the signing of the Paris peace accords in January 1973 that ended the direct combat role of the US in Vietnam. As US national security adviser, Kissinger was a key figure in the four-year negotiations to end US involvement in the Vietnam war.

    The US, with Kissinger as lead mediator, intervened to bring an end to the 1973 Yom Kippur war, where Kissinger negotiated the Israel-Egypt disengagement over eight days. While Kissinger would not countenance an Israeli defeat by the Soviet-armed Arab armies, he was also dubious about an emphatic Israeli victory, pressuring both sides to cease hostilities. This led to suspicions about his motives among some Israelis, with protests in Jerusalem.

    The \u2018Carnation Revolution\u2019 in Portugal in 1974 that overthrew the Estado Novo dictatorship led to Portuguese withdrawal from Angola and Mozambique, where the country had been trying to suppress liberation wars. Kissinger, who had shown little interest in Africa, saw the end of colonial rule as opening the way for Soviet influence in southern Africa and began his belated and problematic intervention. The sign calls for: \u2018Public trial of fascist criminals.\u2019

    Kissinger meets the president of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), Mobutu Sese Seko, in 1976. Kissinger met Mobutu a number of times to ensure his support for US policies in Africa. Kissinger regarded his relationship with Mobutu \u2013 a CIA-backed kleptocrat who consolidated power by murdering his rivals \u2013 as one of his successes, hailing him as \u2018courageous, politically astute\u2019 and \u2018relatively honest in a country where governmental corruption is a way of life\u2019.

    Young protesters by a burning bus during the Soweto uprising in Johannesburg in June 1976. At the heart of Kissinger\u2019s belated interest in Africa was his view that a refusal to end white-minority rule in Rhodesia could open a way to creeping Soviet ambitions on the continent. Kissinger leaned on South Africa to persuade Rhodesia\u2019s recalcitrant leader, Ian Smith, to agree to talks and he became the first US secretary of state to visit the apartheid regime in three decades, arriving just after the Soweto uprising, when security forces shot dead more than 100 protesting black schoolchildren.

    A protest pamphlet condemning the relationship between Kissinger and John Vorster, prime minister of apartheid South Africa. It goes on to celebrate the sacrifice of those killed in the Soweto uprising, a trigger for which was the imposition of the Afrikaans language in schools.

    Kissinger meeting Tanzania\u2019s president, Julius Nyerere, in 1976 to discuss the bush war in Rhodesia. Underwhelmed by Kissinger\u2019s cold war take on Africa, Nyerere said later: \u2018They would like to think we are fighting for the communists in southern Africa, that we are fighting for the Russians, for the Chinese and the Cubans. We want the United States to be big enough to realise that we are not fighting for a Cuban southern Africa, [referring to Cuba\u2019s intervention in the Angolan war], we are not fighting for Russia, we are not fighting for China \u2013 we are fighting for Africa.\u2019

    Kissinger with the South African prime minister, John Vorster, in 1976 during his high-profile trip to the apartheid regime. Kissinger\u2019s visit \u2013 in the aftermath of the deadly violence of the Soweto uprising \u2013 brought a prestige to the white-minority regime in the country that probably helped extend the life of apartheid.

    Ian Smith, centre, the Rhodesian white-minority leader, on his way to meet Kissinger at the official residence of the South African president in September 1976. Backed by self-interested South African pressure and facing increasingly potent guerrilla forces in the bush war at home, Smith eventually agreed to a transition to majority rule \u2013 a move that would be delayed and botched by Kissinger\u2019s follow-up diplomacy.

    Kissinger with the founding father of Kenya, President Jomo Kenyatta, during his whirlwind tour of Africa in 1976. Over two weeks in April, Kissinger visited six countries, also meeting presidents Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, William Tolbert of Liberia, and Senegal\u2019s L\u00e9opold Senghor. Despite these visits, critics said Kissinger was more interested in white minorities in southern Africa, with whom he had more sympathy.

    Kissinger with the Chilean dictator, Gen Augusto Pinochet, in June 1976. Warning of the \u2018insidious model effect\u2019 of the democratic election of a socialist, Salvador Allende, Kissinger plotted to overthrow his government with the CIA and President Nixon. Allende died in the resulting coup in 1973 and thousands of leftists were killed under the dictatorship, which ruled until 1990. Kissinger ignored aides concerned about the Chilean regime\u2019s human rights atrocities, telling Pinochet in 1976: \u2018We want to help, not undermine you. You did a great service to the west in overthrowing Allende.\u2019

    Fighters of the Unita guerrilla movement in August 1986. The US- and South African-backed Unita rebels fought the Marxist MPLA government in the Angolan civil war. Kissinger saw Angola as a key battleground in the cold war and backed Unita, led by Jonas Savimbi, as a proxy in the southern Africa conflict. The war in Angola lasted 27 years and claimed the lives of about one million Angolans.

    \n Global box office revenue 2005-2021\n
    \n Published by\n Statista Research Department,\n \n Dec 6, 2023\n
    \n In 2021, the global box office revenue added up to 21.3 billion U.S. dollars, up from 11.8 billion dollars a year earlier \u2013 an annual growth of 80.5 percent. Still, the 2021 figure amounted to little more than half of the 42.3-billion-dollar revenue recorded in 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak.

    Will the U.S. movie market recover?

    \r\nAltogether, Canada and the United States (including the unincorporated territories of Guam and Puerto Rico) form what is known as the North American film market. This region is recovering at a slower pace than the global average. In 2021, the North American box office revenue amounted to 4.48 billion dollars. This represents less than 40 percent of the 11.32-billion-dollar result reported two years before.

    The Asian film industry

    \r\nIn 2021, China consolidated its upper hand in the global movie market. The country had already placed first in the worldwide ranking of box office revenues in 2020 when it first surpassed the U.S. and Canada. India is also on the rise. As Bollywood movies become more popular out of the country, their performances at the box offices across the world reach dozens of billions of Indian rupees.\n
