1 Barbie 2 The Super Mario Bros. Movie 3 Oppenheimer 4 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 5 Fast X 6 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 7 The Little Mermaid 8 Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One 9 Elemental 10 Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
These are the top 10 highest grossing movies at the worldwide box office for 2023. 5 of them are considered to be either flops or they seriously underperformed. You can be in the top 10 for the entire year and still be a disappointment!? This tells me that studios and movie makers really need to adjust their expectations and their budgets going forward. Otherwise the industry could be in big trouble.

I think we are about to see a change in how these budgets are handled in the future. Kind of like what happened at the end of the New Hollywood era in the early '80s. Same thing. A lot of these big budget movies began flopping. Hard. The studios then had to reign it in for better or worse.

I think it was something of an anomaly. Or at least I hope it is. Marvel happened to release 2 of their worst movies ever. Aquaman and Flash were part of a dead franchise. The glass half full perspective is that Barbie and Oppenheimer were huge. The latter was especially cool to see because it’s not a franchise or easily marketable IP.
