The 2010s was the decade of Avengers films taking over the box office, of vast technical advancements in cinema, and of several hugely successful franchises coming to an end.
It was also the decade where horror films began to be taken more seriously, not least due to the popularity of a new, independent production and distribution company, A24. More people going to the cinema meant more money at the box office, and 2010 was the first year with two films passing the billion-dollar milestone in ticket sales.
