While Netflix is looking to acquire Warner Bros. and inevitably change the theatrical landscape for good, 2025 proved that nothing beats the moviegoing experience. It’s no secret that WB had one of the best years of all time for a studio, and part of that is thanks to a robust slate of films people flocked to theaters to see. According to a new statistic for 2025, audiences are still gravitating toward films released in theaters above all else.
