Spider-Man: No Way Home

The Battle At Lake Changjin

Released primarily in China The Battle At Lake Changjin looked like it was going to be the top movie of the year, but it was not to be as it was pipped at the post by a superhero movie and so has to contend with the runner up spot.

The movie took an amazing $902.2 Million, even more amazing considering it was only released in China.

Hi, Mom

The Chinese movie was only released globally in China, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, and yet still managed to take $822 Million globally in 2021.
