Box Office Mojo's top films as of Oct 8.

Moana 2 comes out in November, Mufasa in December, with the other top 8 up there.

Looks like it's now scheduled for 2025 https://www.thewrap.com/robert-pattinson-mickey-17-2025/

I totally forgot this was “calendar year gross” (not total gross), so Mufasa is actually likely a bad pick (it releases towards the end of December). You can N/A if you’d prefer, but just flagging in the comments so no one bets on it without realizing it has a late December release date

this is a ‘23 film

@mattyb Yes but it has made a lot of money in 2024, and I believe this question is using calendar grosses?

@dominic I was surprised to see that this has in fact happened the past two years (Avatar 2 & No Way Home, top 10 calendar gross but majority of their gross occurring in the previous year), although in this case Wonka shouldn't come close to the top 10 (unless the box office this year truly tanks)

@Ziddletwix Agree it seems really unlikely. But it is #1 right now, so who knows.

The end of 2024 is very far away (hard to know what movies are coming in the fall), so I made a more limited ("top 3") version of this question for the first half of 2024 (until July 1st).

"As of July 1st, what will be top 3 highest grossing (domestic) films of 2024?"
