The Effect of Comic Book Movies on the Industry
Comic book movies have kind of kept the pandemic abay by keeping many consumers away as comic book movies continue to dominate theaters all over the world and studios kept releasing some of their films on steaming platforms (an example is the matrix resurrections, which only raked in $12 million at the box office on the releasing weekend but was also available on HBO Max).
And beyond the spider man and Shang-Chi movie, it is interesting to know that the next top-grossing movies are Venom: let there be carnage, black widow, F9: the fats sage making up the top five.
