Looking back at the 10 most popular movies of 2024, it’s clear that audiences this year were keen to watch almost all of the films nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, which took place in March. Six of the top ten films listed above were nominated for Best Picture at the 96th Academy Awards, with Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (#4 on the list) succeeding in taking the coveted award home. However, UK audiences made their preferences clear with the captivating French drama Anatomy of a Fall, outstripping Oppenheimer and taking the top position.
Dune: Part Two, Godzilla Minus One, and Late Night with the Devil were not part of the 2024 Oscars race, but still found their way onto the year’s most popular movies on streaming services. It’s also worth noting that Dune: Part Two was released in cinemas in 2024 and has been available to stream for a shorter period of time than 2023 titles like Oppenheimer and Barbie. As one of the summer’s big box office hits, it’s no wonder fans wanted to revisit Denis Villeneuve’s film when it became available to stream on several platforms.
Japan’s Godzilla Minus One debuted in cinemas in the UK at the end of December 2023 and was the second highest-grossing film after Wonka during its opening weekend. Godzilla Minus One was then released worldwide for streaming on Netflix in June 2024, where it became an instant fan favourite. The final entry on the list, Late Night with the Devil, was acquired by Amazon’s Shudder horror channel after its debut at SXSW. After a stint in cinemas, the supernatural horror film became available to stream on Amazon Prime in mid-April 2024.
