In 2024, total earnings at the box office across the United States and Canada amounted to around 8.56 billion U.S. dollars, down from 8.91 billion dollars in the previous year. Still, the 2024 figure was still under the revenue recorded in 2019. Light, camera, action – literally The initial recovery in the box office was followed by a return in market concentration. As of February 2023, the "Big Five" major film studios – Disney, Paramount, Sony/Columbia, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. – collectively held a market share of over 80 percent in the U.S. and Canada. Meanwhile, the action genre remained the most popular movie genre of the year. Diversity attracts moviegoers Over 60 percent of Gen Zers surveyed in the U.S. in May 2022 mentioned the movie offerings as the main reason to watch motion pictures in theaters. This suggests that new generations of moviegoers may be losing interest in some of the themes abundant in Hollywood productions. Between April 2018 and November 2021, the share of internet users in the U.S. who said they enjoyed superhero movies but were getting tired of so many of them went from 17 percent to 23 percent.

In 2024, Disney alone accounted for over one-quarter (21.4 percent) of the box office revenue in the United States and Canada, thanks to blockbusters such as "Inside Out 2". Universal ranked second in box office market share at about 20 percent. Warner Bros held a share of approximately 13 percent that year. Disney's superpowers The company's performance at the so-called North American box office led to yet another outstanding placement in the U.S.'s mediascape. In 2024, Disney's box office market share once again stood above 25 percent, a milestone the studio has been achieving every other year since the second half of the 2010s. But an overreliance on superhero stories – noticeable since Disney acquired Marvel in 2009 – may have its days counted. The share of moviegoers in the U.S. saying they were getting tired of so many superhero movies grew by six percentage points between mid-2018 and the end of 2021. Who has the range? Diversity in film genres seems to also be important to attract newer audiences. During a mid-2021 survey, over a third of responding Gen Zers said their main motivation for attending movie theaters was a variety of movie offerings. This segment is key for the cinema industry. Historically, the 12-17 age group has been recording the highest average of movies seen per capita in a theater in the U.S. In 2021, the figure stood at 2.5. Among people aged 50 and above, the average stood below one.

The transition to digital content continues to diminish content distributors as studios increasingly undertake distribution activities in-house. Many distributors have instead turned to acquiring content from production houses. Federal support for video production has been robust, especially with the 2017 Creative Canada initiatives, which increased funding for production studios. Netflix's arrival into the Canadian market also bolstered production, as they were given tax incentives in exchange for spending $500.0 million on domestic content creation. While the pandemic hindered revenue significantly, as health and safety regulations lifted, production skyrocketed as studios had a backlog of projects they were ready to work on. Growth in foreign and domestic Canadian television production propelled the industry to exceed previous pandemic highs in 2021. This momentum was sustained in the following years as demand heightened and revenue hikes persisted. A continued injection of government funding and resources implemented during the pandemic has further boosted the industry. This has enabled the industry to remain durable despite recent spates of inflationary pressure. Revenue is expected to incline at a CAGR of 5.8%, reaching $15.1 billion in 2024, including a 1.6% gain in 2024 as production thrives. Even so, profit took a massive dip amid the pandemic and has yet to fully recover. The ubiquity of digital content has presented opportunities and challenges for content distributors. Streaming platforms can provide a wide variety of content, offering new growth opportunities, especially as these outlets become increasingly popular among consumers. Although the cord-cutting trend has hurt revenue for TV broadcasters, a significant content market, production companies have benefited from the ensuing competition for viewers. Amid the proliferation of video options for consumers, networks have been pressured to strengthen their investment in content that will attract viewers through websites, streaming services or on-demand video. This has ultimately boosted revenue for production companies in an otherwise challenging market. Production growth toward the end of the period is set to carry over as more production companies enter the mix. Production companies will benefit from online streaming services, as these platforms boost the negotiating power of small companies by enabling them to bypass broadcasters, which traditionally had significant leverage over content producers. Revenue is poised to climb at a CAGR of 1.7% to $16.3 billion in 2029.

In 2024, a total of 569 movies were released in the United States and Canada, up from 506 in the previous year. Still, these figures are under the 792 titles released in 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak. Will moviegoers return? The box office revenue in the U.S. and Canada more than tripled between 2020 and 2022, when it reached almost 7.4 billion U.S. dollars. The 2022 result still fell way behind the 11.3-billion-dollar annual revenue recorded just before the pandemic. But there are ways to attract newcomers to the moviegoing experience. During a mid-2022 survey conducted among members of the Generation Z – aged between 13 and 24 years – more than half of respondents mentioned movie offering as a leading motivation to go to the movies.
