Evaluation of the year
editThe year was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with numerous films originally scheduled for theatrical release postponed or released on video-on-demand or streaming services. However, several film companies stopped reporting box-office numbers during this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and several films were still in theaters where guidelines were in place.[1] As a result, film grosses will increase if they are re-released in the future. This is also infamous for being the first year since 2007 that no film has grossed $1 billion.
Highest-grossing films
editThe top films released in 2020 by worldwide gross are as follows:[2]
| Rank | Title | Distributor | Worldwide gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train | Toho / Aniplex | $507,127,293[4] |
| 2 | The Eight Hundred | CMC Pictures | $461,421,559 |
| 3 | My People, My Homeland | China Lion | $433,241,288[5] |
| 4 | Bad Boys for Life | Sony Pictures | $426,505,244 |
| 5 | Tenet | Warner Bros. | $365,304,105 |
| 6 | Sonic the Hedgehog | Paramount | $319,715,683 |
| 7 | Dolittle | Universal | $251,410,631 |
| 8 | Jiang Ziya | Beijing Enlight | $243,883,429 |
| 9 | A Little Red Flower | HG Entertainment | $238,600,000[6][7] |
| 10 | Shock Wave 2 | Universe Films | $226,400,000 |
After being re-released in 4K in China, earning $26.4 million, the overall gross for the 2001 film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone increased to over $1.008 billion, becoming the 47th film overall and the second billion-dollar film in the Wizarding World franchise, after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, at $1.342 billion.
2020 box office records
edit- 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.[8] This has been largely attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a greater negative impact in North America than in Asia.[9]
- Because of the relatively smaller impact of the pandemic on Asian film markets, the majority (6) of the top ten highest-grossing films of the year are East Asian (Chinese and Japanese) productions for the first time in history, as the rankings were previously dominated by North American productions.[10]
Film records
edit- At the end of 2020, The Eight Hundred became the first Chinese and first non-Hollywood film to top the global box office with more than $450 million in gross.[11] It was later overtaken by Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train in May 2021.
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, a Japanese anime film based on the manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, broke a number of box office records.
- It became the first ever non-Hollywood film production to become the highest-grossing film of the year.[12] and the first 2D-animated feature to become the highest grossing movie of the year since Disney's The Lion King in 1994
- It set the all-time box office records for the highest-grossing Japanese film, the highest-grossing anime film, and the highest-grossing R-rated animated film.[13]
- In Japan, Mugen Train set the first-day opening record with ¥1.2 billion ($11.3 million),[14] before breaking the opening weekend record with ¥4.6 billion ($43.8 million) over three days.[15] 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.[16] Mugen Train also became the fastest film to cross ¥20 billion in Japan, again faster than Spirited Away.[17] It also set the record for the highest-grossing IMAX release in Japan, surpassing the previous record holder, Bohemian Rhapsody (2018).[18] In 59 days, Mugen Train set another record as the fastest film to cross the ¥30 billion milestone,[19] faster than Spirited Away, which took 253 days to reach the same milestone.[20] 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).[21] 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.[22]
- 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).[23][24] In 20 days, Mugen Train became the first animated film to cross NT$400 million in Taiwan,[25] before later crossing the NT$500 million milestone.[26]
- The film was also the first R-rated film since Die Hard with a Vengeance in 1995 to be the highest-grossing film of the year overall.
- The film was also the first animated film since The Jungle Book in 1967 to be the highest-grossing film of the year overall and not the highest-grossing animated film of all time at the time.
- Sonic the Hedgehog broke Pokémon: Detective Pikachu's record for the highest opening weekend for a film based on a video game, with $70 million in domestic gross in the United States and Canada.[27] 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.[28] 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).[29][30]
- For the first time in box office history, two non-American animated film productions (Asian films), Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train from Japan and Jiang Ziya from China, have become the highest-grossing animated films of the year. This has been partly attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.[31] It is also the first time since 1987 that a non-American animated film (Japanese anime), Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train, became the highest-grossing animated film of the year, and the first time an anime has made it to the top 10 highest-grossing films of the year worldwide.
- 2020 was the first year since 2008 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, and the first year since 2000 not to have a film gross over $600 million, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- 2020 was the first year since 1995 in which no film was among the 20 highest-grossing films of all time at the time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
