While this is not a double list of the “best” videos and views of 2024, IMDB has revealed the lists of the videos and views that users have interacted with the most on their site, based on 250 million visitors. So yeah, that’s a sample.
Some are certainly some of the best of the year, though I’d say a few of them are some of the worst, and maybe that’s why people were curious. Others were things that went a bit viral. Here are the lists:
It’s not a huge surprise that Deadpool and Wolverine’s downfall topped the list here, because I wouldn’t have expected anything else. Things are entering terrible territory with Joker: Folie à Deux at #4 for the entire year, a wildly surprising film, which arguably would have sparked interest as a result.
The lower profile entries on the list, at least in terms of relative box office returns, would be horror features The Substance and Longlegs, the former of which was great, the latter of which I found overrated, though it was hard to avoid its virality at launch as being some sort of revolutionary terrifying feature. It wasn’t, really. I am also a little surprised to see Civil War in there, a quality, but what I thought was an overlooked feature from the year. A notable omission is the biggest release of the year, Inside Out 2, though that may soon be eclipsed by Moana 2. And I don’t know if there’s been enough time where that film or something like Wicked could make the list.
I continue to be baffled by the interest in True Detective: Night Country. Sure, it was a return to a legendary HBO series, but it was also terrible and received intelligent reviews and Emmy nominations. And what was the most popular show of the year on IMDB? As?
The rest makes sense. These are some of the highest-profile, most-watched, and most productive showcases of the year, especially The Penguin, Fallout, and Shogun. At the bottom of the list are Netflix sleeper hits The Gentleman and 3 Body Problem. Both were renewed for second seasons.
In short, attractive lists. What surprised you?
