A fun fact I just found out, 2015 global volume sits around 6.5-7 billion tickets sold, vs the roughly 4.9 billion sold last year 2025. That's in the world, US was around 1.3 billion in 2015 and 750 million in 2025. So all that critical talk that gross sales in box office to judge a films popularity doesn't actually matter as much in the post pandemic world may actually be somewhat legit. Ticket prices actually show around a 40% increase since 2015 on average. So that's why we're seeing most big budget animations make a billion now. Interesting.
