Generative AI in movies encompasses the utilization of artificial intelligence technologies, particularly generative algorithms, to enhance and automate various facets of filmmaking, including scriptwriting, visual effects, and character design. These innovations leverage machine learning to streamline and augment creative processes, shaping the future landscape of cinema.
The primary categories of generative AI in movies include content generation, visual effects, post-production and editing, budget optimization, audience engagement, and creative inspiration. Content generation involves the development of storylines, scripts, and other narrative elements with the assistance or complete generation by artificial intelligence algorithms. These solutions are implemented through cloud-based and hybrid systems and find applications across filmmaking and production, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), marketing and promotion, and movie recommendation platforms.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The generative AI in movies market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides generative AI in movies market statistics, including generative AI in movies industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a generative AI in movies market share, detailed generative AI in movies market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the generative AI in movies industry. This generative AI in movies market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The generative ai in movies market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.32 billion in 2024 to $0.4 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to decreased labor costs, increased efficiency, improved creativity, enhanced visual effects, and creative exploration.
The generative ai in movies market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.88 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to interdisciplinary influence, audience acceptance, ethical considerations, algorithmic improvements, computational power, data availability and quality. Major trends in the forecast period include real-time script adaptation, virtual actor creation, AI-enhanced visual effects, predictive analytics for box office success, AI-driven film restoration and remastering, emotionally intelligent AI characters.
The forecast of 22.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs on international video editing platforms and rendering engines can hinder the integration of Generative AI in Movies by escalating post-production budgets and reducing real-time collaboration potential. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
An increase in consumer entertainment spending is expected to drive the growth of the generative AI market in the movie industry. Consumer entertainment spending refers to the money individuals and households allocate for entertainment activities, including movies, for personal enjoyment. Generative AI tools can automate repetitive tasks in movie production, such as scene creation, scriptwriting, and visual effects rendering. This automation accelerates the production process, enabling filmmakers to bring their creative ideas to life more efficiently. For example, in October 2024, The Numbers, a U.S.-based company providing detailed movie financial analysis, reported that the total number of tickets sold in the U.S. domestic market rose from 702 million in 2022 to 830 million in 2023. Additionally, total domestic box office revenue grew from $7.3 billion in 2022 to $8.9 billion in 2023. Therefore, the rise in consumer entertainment spending is fueling the growth of generative AI in the movie industry.
Prominent companies in the generative AI in movies market are concentrating on developing advanced products that revolutionize content creation, storytelling, and audience engagement, such as text-to-video artificial intelligence solutions. These innovations aim to enhance efficiency, foster creativity, and drive innovation in the filmmaking process. Text-to-video artificial intelligence involves AI technology that transforms textual input into video content, leveraging natural language processing and computer vision algorithms to generate dynamic visual representations based on provided text. For example, in May 2023, Runway AI, Inc., a leading US-based artificial intelligence company, unveiled Gen-1 and Gen-2 AI tools designed for video generation with distinct capabilities. Gen-1, known as video-to-video, enables users to craft new videos using existing ones by selecting a video, choosing a style reference, and previewing iterations before finalizing. Gen-2, a text-to-video service with limited availability, empowers users to generate videos in diverse styles based on provided text prompts.
In April 2023, VideoVerse, a reputable US-based video technology company, completed the acquisition of Reely.ai for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move is geared toward enhancing VideoVerse's existing capabilities and better serving its clientele in the gaming and esports sectors through AI-driven content creation and distribution. Reely.ai, a US-based AI-powered video and movie maker platform, brings valuable expertise and technology to VideoVerse's portfolio, strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving entertainment industry landscape.
