2020 in film
The year of 2020 featured many film releases, several cinematic events, and a plethora of deaths connected to the industry. The year was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with numerous films originally scheduled for theatrical release were postponed or released on video on demand or streaming services, and as a result, 2020 was the first year since 2007 not to have a film gross $1 billion in its initial release, the first year since 2005 not to have a film gross over $900 million, the first year since 2000 not to have a film gross over $600 million, and the first year since 1995 not to have a film gross over $500 million. There was one movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, that passed over $1 billion in a re-release. It was also the first year in history when only five of the ten highest-grossing films were North American productions, the other five being Chinese or Japanese productions with one of the latter, The Eight Hundred, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2020, a first for a non-American film.

However, it is to be kept in mind that several film companies stopped reporting box-office numbers during this time due to the pandemic, and several films are still in theatres where guidelines enable so.[1] As a result, numbers will grow if they are re-released in the future to compensate for the impact this pandemic has had on consumers and film-watchers.
Highest-grossing films
The top films released in 2020 by worldwide gross are listed below.[2] The COVID-19 pandemic caused severe disruption to the industry, with lower than usual box office returns than previous years and a reduced selection of contenders.
Rank | Title | Distributor | Worldwide gross |
---|---|---|---|
1 | The Eight Hundred | CMC Pictures Holdings | $461,339,528 |
2 | My People, My Homeland | China Lion Film Distribution | $433,241,288 |
3 | Bad Boys for Life | Sony Pictures / Columbia | $426,505,244 |
4 | Demon Slayer: Mugen Train | Toho / Aniplex (Sony Music Japan) | $384,390,005 |
5 | Tenet | Warner Bros. | $363,129,000 |
6 | Sonic the Hedgehog | Paramount | $319,715,683 |
7 | Dolittle | Universal | $245,295,766 |
8 | Jiang Ziya | Beijing Enlight Pictures | $243,843,105 |
9 | A Little Red Flower | HG Entertainment | $224,500,000 |
10 | Shock Wave 2 | Universe Films Distribution | $202,000,000 |
After being re-released in 4K in China, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone grossed over $1 billion, becoming the second billion-dollar film in the Wizarding World franchise.
2020 box office records
- China overtook North America as the world's largest box office market for the first time in 2020. China generated $2.7 billion in theatrical revenue compared to North America's $2.3 billion , the lowest for the North American box office in at least 40 years.[3] This has been largely attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic having a greater negative impact in North America than in China.[4]
- Because of the relatively smaller impact of the pandemic on Asian film markets, half of the top ten highest-grossing films of the year are non-Hollywood (Chinese and Japanese) productions for the first time in history, as the rankings were previously always dominated by North American productions.[5]
Film records
- Sonic the Hedgehog broke Pokemon: Detective Pikachu's record for the highest opening weekend for a film based on a video game, with $70 million domestic gross in the United States and Canada.[6] It went on to become the highest-grossing film based on a video game in the United States and Canada, surpassing Detective Pikachu, although it did not beat it in the worldwide box office.[7] Sonic the Hedgehog is also the highest-grossing superhero film of 2020, ending the Marvel Cinematic Universe's decade-long run of having the highest-grossing superhero film of the year (from 2010 to 2019).[8][9]
- The Eight Hundred, a Chinese film, became the first ever non-Hollywood film production to become the highest-grossing film of the year. In previous years, the highest-grossing film of the year was always a Hollywood production. This record has been largely attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]
- Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, a Japanese anime film based on the manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, broke a number of box office records in Asia.
- In Japan, Mugen Train set the first-day opening record with ¥1.2 billion ($11.3 million ),[11] before breaking the opening weekend record with ¥4.6 billion ($43.8 million ) over three days.[12] It went on to have the highest-grossing second weekend, and in ten days became the fastest film to cross ¥10 billion ($96.7 million ), surpassing Spirited Away (2001) which had previously crossed the ¥10 billion milestone in 19 days and held the record for 19 years.[13] Mugen Train also became the fastest film to cross ¥20 billion in Japan, again faster than Spirited Away.[14] It also set the record for the highest-grossing IMAX release in Japan, surpassing the previous record holder Bohemian Rhapsody (2018).[15] In 59 days, Mugen Train set another record as the fastest film to cross the ¥30 billion milestone,[16] faster than Spirited Away which took 253 days to reach the same milestone.[17] In 66 days, the film set another record as the first film to top the Japanese box office charts for ten straight weekends (since the charts began publication in 2004).[18] In 73 days, Mugen Train grossed ¥32.48 billion to become the highest-grossing film of all time in Japan, surpassing Spirited Away which held the record for 19 years.[19]
- In Taiwan, Mugen Train grossed NT$360 million (US$12.6 million ) in 17 days, setting the record for the highest-grossing animated film of all time in Taiwan, surpassing the previous record holders Frozen 2 (2019) and Your Name (2016).[20][21] In 20 days, Mugen Train became the first animated film to cross NT$400 million in Taiwan,[22] before later crossing the NT$500 million milestone.[23]
- For the first time in box office history, two non-American animated film productions (Asian films), Demon Slayer: Mugen Train from Japan and Jiang Ziya from China, have become the highest-grossing animated films of the year. This has also been partly attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.[24] It is also the first time since 1987 that a non-American animated film (Japanese anime), Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, became the highest-grossing animated film of the year.
