Find out which film brought in $200 million despite the pandemic.
During a year that saw thousands of movie theaters shut down due to the pandemic, ticket sales still soared in the millions for many flicks released over the past 12 months. While sales didn’t quite reach the level of last year’s profits, with 2019’s top film bringing in $858 million, this year’s highest grossing movie in the US still made over $200 million in sales.
According to Box Office Mojo, all of the highest earning films were released in the first quarter of the year, prior to COVID-related closures. Their calculations did not consider movies that were digitally released or premiered on streaming services.
