The US box office has just passed the $2 Billion mark, its November, for the past few years this has happened in March.
When the pandemic spread around the world, cinemas globally started closing down, in the US this is still ongoing.
This biggest movie of the year in the US is Bad Boys For Life which has taken over $204 Million in the US, and no film will overtake that total this year, the film was released in January of 2020 and had a good run at the box office.
In context of this the biggest movie in the US was Avengers: Endgame which took over $850 Million.
To start with all blockbusters started putting their release dates to later in the year or to 2021, but as it became clear that the pandemic would last far longer than originally expected movies started to appear on streaming services.
The effect of this is all those big Hollywood blockbusters that could have, and would have, grossed close a billion either took far less on basically limited release, or nothing due to a DVOD release.
Tenet was the first movie with blockbuster potential to be release during the pandemic and although it grossed over $50 Million in the US it was a potential $800 million plus grosser.
Drive-in theatres gave a small lifeline but even a blockbuster in this arena was worth just over a Million.
With a vaccine being likely by year out to hopefully go into mass production for 2021 we can hope that 2020 will go down in history as a one off, although with companies like Disney suggesting it will release future movies on Disney+ as exclusives or day and date releases it could be bad news for the cinema industry.
As predicted with the surge in COVID-19 cases in the US, the big movie of the holiday season, Wonder Woman 1984, will debut on steaming and cinema on the same day.
The Patty Jenkins directed movie will get the duel release in the US with no word yet on if the Boxing Day release in the UK is changing or a streaming option will be in place as well.
The movie has been changed from earlier in 2020 to later in 2020 a couple of time finally settling for a Christmas release.
With COVID-19 cases on the increase in the US and the UK on a lockdown until early December Warner Bros. have decided to dual release it.
With a vaccine almost imminent this could be perhaps the last big film to get this type of release, altohugh with Universal seemingly a fan of short release windows who know, but thats a story for another day.
Can we say cinemas as we know and love it has died yet?
**UPDATE** It looks like the UK release has been brought forward and will be released in cinemas on December 16th.
For the first time ever, #WonderWoman1984 will release in theatres and stream exclusively on @HBOmax* on December 25. - - *Available on HBO Max in the US only at no extra cost to subscribers. pic.twitter.com/bU1Lmg5YDA

The first image of Tom Holland from the movie adaption of the Playstation video game Uncharted has been released which can be checked out below.
The Spider-man: Far From Home actor plays a younger version of the main character Nathan Drake in an Uncharted origins movie, something only touched on in the games.
The games heavily influenced by the Tomb Raider series which has a sequel to Tomb Raider due early next year, this is heavily influenced by the Indiana Jones series, Indiana Jones 5 is due 2022 so there is plenty of tomb raiding adventures on the horizon.
Also starring in the movie is Mark Wahlberg as Nathans friend and mentor Victor Sullivan, the story will in part focus on how the two met.
The movie is being directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) and has a current release date of 16th July 2021, but with the back catalogue of 2020 film to be released this could move.
Also popping up in the movie, most likely as the bad guy is Antonio Banderas
James Bond actor Daniel Craig has confirmed that he will not return as 007 for the next movie in the long running series.
No Time To Die is set for release next April with Craig as the main character but in a recent interview with German site Express he seems to have enough of playing the role and this will be his last.
The film has reportedly has a troubled production with injuries happening to Craig and other people involved in the making, and there has apparently been friction between Craig and director Cary Joji Fukunaga.
In the same interview the actor also dismissed any notion of returning as a director for the franchise.
Daniel Craig has appeared as James Bond since 2006 in Casino Royale and has been the character in Quantum Of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.
