Google search data doesn’t just measure views — it measures active interest. When millions of people search a movie’s title, it means:
-
They want to learn more
-
They’re talking about it on social media
-
They’re sharing links and trailers
-
They’re recommending it to others
That’s why search trends can be as valuable as box office data in tracking what movies truly captured global attention in 2025.
