Hey! Our dear Don-chan

2024 in film is an overview of events, including the highest-grossing films, award ceremonies, critics' lists of the best films of 2024, festivals, a list of country-specific lists of films released, and movie programming. Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) celebrated their 100th anniversaries; Toei Company celebrated its 75th anniversary; DreamWorks Pictures and DreamWorks Animation celebrated their 30th anniversaries; and the first Mickey Mouse films, including Steamboat Willie (1928), entered the public domain this year. Three of the films, Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Moana 2 made $1 billion in 2024. Alongside new releases, multiple popular films like The Lion King (1994), Les Misérables (2012), Alien (1979), Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), The Mummy (1999 film), Whiplash (2014), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Shrek 2 (2004), Twister (1996), Saw (2004), Coraline (2009), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Hocus Pocus (1993), Interstellar (2014), and Tenet (2020) were re-released to either celebrate their anniversaries and/or fill in the gaps left by films that had their original release dates affected by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. These disputes, including the Writers Guild of America strike and SAG-AFTRA strike, had a significant impact on the 2024 release schedule, with many films being postponed due to productions being halted mid-filming or before commencement.
