Here’s a look at the year’s highest-grossing films, from expected blockbusters to surprising international successes. All figures come from the box office tracking website, The Numbers. While the rankings of some of these films still playing in theaters may change slightly in the coming weeks, the top ten should stay consistent.
When Ozark first appeared on Netflix in 2017, many viewers drew comparisons to Breaking Bad, noting the similar story of a man losing his morals as he got involved in crime. But as the series went on, it developed its own distinct style within the crime thriller genre. It did this by focusing on a whole family’s involvement in criminal activity and by consistently surprising audiences with unexpected twists and turns.
A source claiming to be reliable posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Hugh Jackman had a significant amount of screen time in the upcoming film Doomsday alongside Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man. If true, this suggests Wolverine will be heavily involved in a battle-focused storyline with Deadpool and Spider-Man, rather than just making a quick appearance.
Yen Press recently announced its top-performing titles for 2025, covering manga, manhwa, manhua, and light novels. Popular series like Solo Leveling continued to dominate the charts, while titles such as The Summer Hikaru Died, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, and Lord of Mysteries saw significant gains. You can find the complete list of Yen Press’s bestsellers for 2025 below.
Despite the restrictions, some adult films gained critical acclaim, like Midnight Cowboy, which surprisingly won Best Picture at the 1970 Oscars. Censorship could be triggered by many things – swearing, how often it happened, sexual content, and even potentially offensive statements about religion or topics that could encourage violence. Interestingly, American films often showed more physical violence and gore than other content, as popular genres like crime dramas, horror, and war films typically received an R rating. However, movie ratings weren’t consistent internationally, and some films on this list demonstrate different censorship standards around the world.
In the “Winter Fire” episode, directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Jason Fuchs, audiences discover something new about Pennywise. Unlike in Stephen King’s original novel, the Tim Curry miniseries, or Muschietti’s IT films, this episode reveals that Pennywise doesn’t experience time like we do – it doesn’t move forward in a straight line. While talking to Marge, Pennywise shows it knows what will happen in the future, almost as if it’s already lived through it. It then tries to kill Marge to stop her son, Richie (who will later help defeat it), but Hallorann stops it by invading its mind and trapping it in a fake memory.
In an Instagram story, per Entertainment Weekly, Havens shared the message:
When the Hunters went through the Gate, Suho’s plane crashed, leaving him stranded. While exploring the dungeon on his own, he met a young Ice Elf named Sarca, who has surprising ties to both the story’s villains and Suho’s mother, Cha Haein. Everything suggests that Cha Haein will be the hero of this part of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, possibly even surpassing Jinwoo and Suho in importance.
