Gen Z moviegoers are the most active of any group, with 90% of females and 89% of males going to at least one movie a year, according to NRG — though males listed movies as their No. 2 favorite activity, behind video games.

Meanwhile, the report points out that Hispanic moviegoers continue to be strong supporters of moviegoing, and are 11% more likely to see prefer seeing a movie on opening weekend than the general moviegoing population. 27% of Hispanic moviegoers attend six movies a year or more.

NATO also projects that next year will see more movies released in 2,000 locations or more in the U.S., going from approximately 95 in 2024 to 110 in 2025. And many of them will be seen on bigger screens, with 37% more large format screens around the world than five years ago.
