IMDb has officially unveiled the most popular movies and TV shows of 2024 as part of their annual recap of the year in entertainment. Based on the actual page views of 250 million monthly visitors worldwide, IMDb's authoritative lists reflect the films and series that fans couldn't stop talking about this year. And despite critical chatter about Hollywood's rinse-and-repeat habits, entertainment fans can't seem to get enough of the sequels, prequels, reboots, and spin-offs that studios are dishing out.

Topping the list of most popular movies is the long-awaited ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ which brought together Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as two of Marvel's most beloved characters. With a worldwide gross of $1.3 billion, the film passed 'Joker' as the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, giving Disney a much-needed hit from Marvel Studios. Warner Bros. claimed the second and third spots with Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune: Part Two’ and George Miller’s ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ starring Anya Taylor-Joy.

On the small screen, the highly rated fourth season “True Detective: Night Country” reigned supreme as the most popular show of the year (and scored an Emmy for lead actress Jodie Foster). Prime Video’s gritty superhero series "The Boys," and Max’s Batman spin-off "The Penguin" followed closely behind, proving the enduring popularity of comic book adaptations.

But even as familiar franchises dominated the top spots, there were some original films and less-familiar IP also crept into the top spots. Oz Perkins’s ‘Longlegs’ and Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror thriller ‘The Substance’ were two indie horror hits that caught fire in 2024. And while the top TV shows are all based on pre-existing IP, there were some fresh debuts, including Prime Video’s video game adaptation “Fallout," FX’s “Shōgun” reboot, and Netflix’s “The Gentlemen,” based on the Guy Ritchie movie of the same name.

IMDb’s end-of-year coverage also includes the site’s Most Popular Stars of the year, a curated list of IMDb Staff Picks, and a look at the stars we lost in 2024. For full coverage of the Best Of 2024, head to IMDb.com and the IMDb mobile apps.
