Revenue at the North American box office jumped 101 percent over 2020 but still lagged far behind pre-pandemic levels.
Final 2021 numbers for the foreign box office weren’t immediately available, but Comscore expects global revenue to come in at nearly $21 billion.
The box office recovery continues to be a slow process. The latest hurtle is the highly contagious omicron variant. The rise of streaming is also an enormous challenge for cinemas. So far, younger moviegoers between ages 18 and 34 — and especially younger males — have fueled the recovery, resulting in superhero, action and horror dominating the top reaches of the yearly chart.
