While this is not a double list of the “best” videos and views of 2024, IMDB has revealed lists of the videos and views that users interacted with the most on its site, based on 250 million visitors. So yes, that’s a sample.
Some are definitely among the most productive of the year, I would say some are among the worst, and maybe that’s why other people were curious. Others were things that went a little viral. Here are the lists:
It’s not a huge surprise that Deadpool and Wolverine’s box explosion makes the most sense on the list here, because you wouldn’t expect anything else. Things are entering terrible territory with Joker: Folie à Deux at number four for the entire year. , an extraordinarily impressive film, which would possibly have sparked interest.
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’m still baffled by the interest in True Detective: Night Country. Sure, it was a return to a mythical 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?How?
The rest of these all make sense. These are some of the highest profile, most-watched, best shows of the year, especially The Penguin, Fallout and Shogun. Bringing up the rear of the list are sleeper Netflix hits The Gentleman and 3 Body Problem. Both of which got renewed for second seasons.
In short, attractive lists. What surprised you?
