Looking back on it, 2023 was a really good year for horror films. There were a lot of capable sequels and original stories to keep audiences on their toes.
As well, there were box office success stories and films that didn’t quite make their money back. Either way, I’m glad to see horror fans were hitting movie theaters hard in 2023.
Here’s a list of the best-selling titles of 2023. Statistics include place in the overall top 100 and final theatrical gross, not including international numbers.
