US domestic box office revenues (North American, from sources like Box Office Mojo and MPAA reports) showed a similar pandemic recovery pattern, though lower than global figures due to limited markets:
- 2020: ~$2.1 billion (sharp 88% drop from 2019, theaters shut for most of year).
- 2021: ~$4.5 billion (partial rebound with films like Shang-Chi later in year).
- 2022: ~$7.4 billion (stronger recovery via Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar sequel).
- 2023: ~$9.0 billion (growth from Barbie, Oppenheimer; still below pre-pandemic ~$11B).
- 2024: ~$8.8 billion (early estimates; solid but flat with hits like Deadpool & Wolverine).
Note: 2024 is preliminary and ongoing. For full details, check Box Office Mojo archives.
