Charted: Action-adventure movies remain supreme

Aug 12, 2023 | axios.com | Jared Whalen

Action and adventure movies have squeezed just about every other genre out of the box office. By the numbers: Looking at the 100 highest-grossing movies of each year, action movies accounted for less than half of the box office in the 1990s. Now they account for 78% of those ticket sales, according to data from Box Office Mojo. Between the lines: The rise of superhero franchises consolidated the world of blockbusters. "Iron Man" was released in 2008 and kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
