2024 has been a tumultuous year at the box office. The year kicked off with a series of disappointments, including the underperforming action film Agrylle, among others. Things partially shifted with the release of the critically-acclaimed Dune: Part Two, which made over $714 million at the global box office. Still, even highly-anticipated titles such as Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga faltered this spring, not bringing the same momentum to the box office that early predictions would indicate.
Things vastly changed at the box office this summer. The first major shifting point was the Pixar sequelInside Out 2. Released on June 14, the emotional animated sequel was an instant success in terms of both critical reviews and the box office. After Inside Out 2 came other big box office wins, including Despicable Me 4 and Deadpool & Wolverine, and also the continued success of Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Now, another 2024 box office hit is on streaming, and its viewership is taking off once again.

It Ends With Us is now a hit on streaming. Based on the Colleen Hoover novel by the same name, It Ends With Us tells the story of a woman named Lily who falls in love with a seemingly perfect man named Ryle. When things go south with Ryle, however, Lily finds herself trapped in the cycle of abuse that was first brought on by her own father. The original source material for the film was highly controversial, so the movie adaptation reignited some of these controversies.
