The rankings are part of a broader report on exhibition released on the eve of CinemaCon, the movie theater industry’s major annual trade show in Las Vegas.
Along with gauging interest in specific summer titles, Fandango — a division of NBCUniversal that will soon be part of a spinoff from Comcast of cable and digital assets — surveyed moviegoers about a range of habits and opinions. More than 5,000 people who had bought at least one ticket to a movie theater showing since January 2024 took part in the study in December.

About 80% of respondents were ages 18-54, with 51% identifying as male, 47% female and 2% non-binary. In all, 45% described themselves as Caucasian, 42% Latinx/Hispanic, 18% Black/African American, 5% Asian/Pacific Islander and 2% other. Some respondents identified with multiple ethnicities. Additional information on the Top 10 most-anticipated summer movies and overall summer sentiment was obtained via a supplemental survey of more than 3,000 moviegoers conducted in February.
While revenue and attendance trends point to ongoing struggles for the industry to return to anywhere near pre-Covid levels, the Fandango report offers reason for hope. With major theater circuits forecasting a higher number of wide releases in 2025 than in 2024, attendance also could see a lift as 88% of moviegoers expect to see more movies this year.
