2020 in film
Overview of the events of 2020 in film
2020 in film is a history of events, which includes the highest-grossing films, award ceremonies, critics' lists of the best films of 2020, festivals, a list of country-specific lists of films released, and notable deaths.
Evaluation of the year
The 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
The top films released in 2020 by worldwide gross are as follows:[ 2]

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
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
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.
