German Box Office Declines in 2024

Disney’s Inside Out 2 is the most successful release of 2024 to date.

German - Germany’s box office experienced a significant decline in the first nine months of 2024, with revenues falling by 16% year-on-year to €559 million, according to provisional figures from Comscore. This downturn is attributed to a decrease in cinema attendance, with around 57 million tickets sold, marking a 14.5% drop compared to the same period in 2023.

Despite the overall decline, Disney emerged as the market leader, generating €117 million in box office revenue and selling 11.85 million tickets. The success of Inside Out 2, which grossed over €51 million and attracted 5 million admissions, played a crucial role in Disney’s dominance1. Other notable performers included Warner Bros’ Dune: Part Two and Universal’s Despicable Me 4, which grossed €38 million and €38.2 million, respectively.

Local productions also made a mark, with Constantin Film’s comedy Chantal In Fairyland becoming the most successful German release, grossing €27.4 million. Leonine’s School of Magical Animals 3 followed closely, grossing €10.2 million and surpassing the one million admissions mark.

The decline in box office revenue highlights the challenges faced by the German film industry in 2024, as it struggles to attract audiences back to cinemas amid a competitive entertainment landscape.
