Sequel Signals

2024 was a year packed with major franchise crossovers and sequels, bringing us back to the worlds and characters we’ve loved for years.

1️⃣ Familiarity Bias 🛋️ – We feel safe and excited when we return to universes like Deadpool or Pushpa.

2️⃣ Nostalgia Effect 📼 – Movies like Toy Story 5 and Kung Fu Panda 4 take us back to our childhood, stirring up memories and emotions attached to these characters.

3️⃣ Peak-End Rule 🏔️ – A movie that ends on a high note, like Spider-Man: No Way Home, makes us crave that same emotional thrill in sequels.

4️⃣ Social Proof 👥 – When everyone’s talking about The Avengers or Singham, we don’t want to be left out of the conversation.
