    1. Inspired by [https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1huggr2/oc_how_sequels_took_over_hollywood/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1huggr2/oc_how_sequels_took_over_hollywood/)

      Used Google Sheets and Datawrapper to make the chart. Source for the domestic box office rankings is The Numbers: [https://the-numbers.com/box-office-records/domestic/all-movies/cumulative/released-in-2024](https://the-numbers.com/box-office-records/domestic/all-movies/cumulative/released-in-2024) and then manually researched what each film was based on.

      You know what, I want to support independent movies. Which ones of these are best?

      I actually enjoyed Red One a lot more than I was expecting to. For what it is, it’s pretty good.

    4. If it is meant to draw in a crowd, they cannot gamble on something they do not know the outcome for. This is just not possible to do so with the cost of production being so high.

      That being said, 18% is really high knowing that it is just filtering “what did well”.

      Do yourself a favor and skip the movie “Trap”. Ridiculously stupid movie.
