After two of the most trying years in film history, cinemas are open for business. Changing habits have contributed to softer box office returns over the last 12 months, leading to choppy waters for major chains like Cineworld, but there have been rare instances (looking at you, Top Gun: Maverick and Spider-Man: No Way Home) of films performing at or above pre-pandemic levels. Streaming isn't going anywhere anytime soon - and nor should it - but what's clear is that audiences will continue to turn out in droves for films taking full advantage of the big screen experience. Unsurprisingly, superheroes continue to dominate, but there's a clear appetite for stories that don't originate in comic books, with the likes of Everything, Everywhere All At Once and Baz Luhrmann's glitzy Elvis biopic resoundingly exceeding expectations.
