10 Biggest Movies of 2021 and How Much They Made.

2021 started with us still being very much deep in the middle of a global pandemic and just beginning to slowly seep back into the light. That meant of course that movie goers were trepidatious about going back into the cinema. The fear from the public, lockdowns, and restrictions made creating and promoting movies in 2021 quite the arduous task but now, with the year coming to an end, we're happy to return that the movies still did quite well this year and it is in fact NOT the end of cinema as we know it.

Here are the 10 Biggest Movies 2021 had to offer and how much each one of them made! (All box office numbers are from the latest reports as at the time of this story's creation: December 30, 2021.)
