It also featured some breakthrough originals, like "The Substance" and "Longlegs."
2024 was a huge year for film franchises, according to IMDb's end-of-year rankings — but few original works cut through the noise.
IMDb, the entertainment database, measures the popularity of titles throughout the year through its propriety MOVIEmeter metric, calculated through data like number of page visits for a specific title. In other words, the more people who click on "Deadpool & Wolverine's" IMDb page, the higher its MOVIEmeter score.
