2020s in film


The decade of the 2020s in film directly dealt with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema. This witnessed a profound transformation in how movies are produced, distributed, and consumed globally. The pandemic led to widespread theater closures, delays in releases, and a rapid acceleration in the shift towards streaming services as a primary means of distribution.

The decade marked the first instances in cinema history when non-Hollywood productions topped the annual global box office.
