The end of 2024 is set to deliver some of the most exciting box office clashes of the year, both in Bollywood and Hollywood. With high-profile sequels, franchise films, and ambitious new projects, the stage is set for some epic battles for box office supremacy. Whether you’re into action-packed thrillers, historical dramas, or supernatural comedies, there’s a movie showdown for everyone. Here’s a look at the big upcoming cinematic face-offs:
Singham Again vs Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
This Diwali is shaping up to be a massive box office clash in Bollywood. Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again will see Ajay Devgn reprise his role as Bajirao Singham, with an ensemble cast featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, and Tiger Shroff. The villain? Arjun Kapoor.
On the other hand, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, led by Kartik Aaryan, promises a mix of horror and comedy with the return of Vidya Balan and the addition of Madhuri Dixit. It’s going to be a battle between action and supernatural fun that will light up the festive season.
Venom: The Last Dance vs Conclave
In Hollywood, October 25 will witness a clash between Venom: The Last Dance and Conclave. While Venom: The Last Dance marks Tom Hardy’s final performance as the anti-hero, it promises to be an exciting conclusion for the symbiote’s standalone saga before he transitions into the Spider-Man universe.
Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes, offers a more cerebral experience, with its tense, gripping narrative based on Robert Harris’ novel, taking place within the secretive walls of the Vatican.
Chhaava vs Pushpa 2: The Rule
On December 6, another colossal Bollywood clash will see Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava go up against Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. Chhaava is a historical epic centered on the story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, promising a grand portrayal of sacrifice, valor, and leadership.
Meanwhile, Pushpa 2 will pick up where the first film left off, continuing Allu Arjun’s rise as the rebellious smuggler in the action-packed, commercial blockbuster that fans have eagerly awaited.
Gladiator II vs Wicked
November 22 brings another Hollywood heavyweight match: Gladiator II vs Wicked. Directed by Ridley Scott, Gladiator II is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2000 epic, with promises of intense battle sequences and a return to the Roman Empire’s brutal grandeur.
Meanwhile, Wicked, the prequel to The Wizard of Oz, offers a magical, musical experience featuring a star-studded cast and exploring the untold story of the witches of Oz. This duel between historical drama and fantastical musical could rival last year’s “Barbenheimer” phenomenon.
Moana 2 vs Metro In Dino
November 29 will see two very different films collide at the box office. Disney’s Moana 2 promises to bring back the spirit of adventure, with new lands, fresh characters, and an exciting journey that fans of the original film will love.
On the other hand, Bollywood’s Metro… In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu, serves as a spiritual successor to Life in a… Metro, featuring an ensemble cast and exploring the interconnected lives of urban dwellers. It’s a clash between Disney magic and a realistic, emotional drama that could appeal to different audiences.
Honorable Mentions:
Other exciting films in 2024 that could shake up the box office include Deadpool 3, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Tiger 3, ensuring that 2024 will end on a high note for moviegoers around the world. With so many big releases set to battle it out, audiences will be spoilt for choice in the final months of the year!
