‘A Quite Place’ and ‘Hereditary’ are genuinely good films that will be remembered for a long time. I say “surprisingly” because even though horror films tend to make a lot of money, they usually fall short in terms of quality. One genre that had a surprisingly good year was horror. Animation, Action and Disney continued their superb show by raking in millions in revenue. Even a film like ‘A Star is Born’, which many had deemed to be too avante grade to make a dent at the box-office, made more than $200 million in US alone. Marvel movies like ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Black Panther’ smashed box office records. But as it turned out that wasn’t the case after all. After a disappointing 2017, many were worried that with the rapid expansion of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, people would stop going to theaters. Many might not know this but 2018 was also one of the best years in terms of box-office collections.

I can’t recall a year in recent past when we had so many eclectic mix of films. So, what was so special about 2018? Well, in one word: “variety”. While 2017 wasn’t as great as I had hoped it to be, 2018 surpassed my expectations.

2018 has been a fascinating year for movies.
