Key Insights

  • Heading into the weekend, “No Way Home” had amassed more than $1.3 billion globally, generating enthusiasm within the industry even with a surge in coronavirus cases. But the blockbuster remains a pandemic-era outlier. No other Hollywood film topped $775 million worldwide last year, according to Box Office Mojo.
  • The theater industry may be facing another winner-take-all year in 2022, with sure-fire crowd-pleasers like “The Batman” and “Mission: Impossible 7” filling seats, while other films struggle to find an audience.
  • “The 355” is a rare espionage thriller that stars a diverse cast of female actors, the youngest of whom is 38. The film is about a CIA agent played by Jessica Chastain who aligns with a rival German agent, a former MI6 ally and a psychologist to try to recover a secret weapon. “The 355” also features Lupita Nyong’o and Penelope Cruz.
