I see a lot of movies in theaters every year. Last year, I was pretty pleased with my total of 79 trips to my local multiplex but for 2024, I set myself the goal of hitting triple-digits. Over the past 12 months, I’ve seen 105 movies in theaters, and that number will rise even higher before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Seeing more than 100 movies in theaters in a calendar year has given me a pretty good overall gauge of 2024 in film. I saw all the major blockbusters from “Deadpool & Wolverine” to “Wicked” as well as smaller indie releases and a couple of foreign flicks, too. I also endured some of the year’s low points on the silver screen, including “Madame Web” and the “Borderlands” movie.
