The best-selling movies in North America/Japan/Korea in 2021 are them

We come from the movie, and then go back to the movie. Happy New Year!

The first tweet in 2022 continues our unfinished year-end inventory.

Last year’s global box office champion is the undoubted “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, and now it can reach the box office of movie history.

In addition, what other movies are eye-catching at the box office around the world?

Check out the top-grossing movies in North America/Japan/Korea in 2021.

2021 North American Box Office Top 10

Originally I only wanted to count the TOP5 box office in North America, and found that they were basically reserved by Marvel. As mentioned below, this is still an era that needs superheroes.

It’s just that while Marvel’s superhero movies are prestigious at the box office, their content types and word-of-mouth are already showing signs of weakness.

Tomorrow we will post a separate article summarizing Marvel’s 2021.

The following data comes from the website Box Office Mojo.

No. 10 “Free Guy”

US release time: 2021-08-1
Starring: Ryan Reynolds/Jodie Comer / Joe Keery
North American Box Office: $121 million

1. For the same theme, “Ready Player One” is already the ceiling, but “Free Guy” also has the advantage. It is a brand new and original visual effect film in the epidemic era.
2. There are too many superhero elements: starring Ryan Reynolds, Wolverine and Captain America cameo, the ending battle uses Captain America’s shield and Hulk’s arm…

Coupled with the “Frozen”, “Star Wars” and other IP easter eggs, how do you look like Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Pictures (formerly 20th Century Fox Pictures) “meeting ceremony”.

3. Metaverse movies may be the trend in the next few years.

No. 09 “Ghostbusters: Afterlife”

US release time: 2021-11-19
Starring: Finn Wolfhard / Mckenna Grace / Paul Rudd
North American Box Office: $122 million

1. A new work in the North American well-known IP “Ghostbusters” series. There are various tribute to the old version in the film. Feelings are useful everywhere.
2. If you like Hollywood’s early adventure comedies, you can also take a look.
3. There are ghosts, but its essence is a children’s film.

No. 08 “A Quiet Place: Part II”

US release date: 2021-05-28
Starring: Emily Blunt / Cillian Murphy / Millicent Simmonds / Noah Jupe
North American box office: $160 million

1. The last one was a low-cost thriller dark horse. After returning, “A Quiet Place: Part II” has become an increasingly popular commercial IP.
2. Despite the high concept setting-no sound can be made, otherwise it will be killed. The sequel failed to play new ideas, switching to two children’s growth ideas, there is no lack of design dazzling features.
3. Movies that must be watched in the cinema.

No. 07 “No Time to Die”

US release time: 2021-10-08
Starring: Daniel Craig / Rami Malek / Léa Seydoux / Ana de Armas
North American box office: $160 million

1, Bond’s 25th commemorative film, Daniel Craig resigns in dignity.

2. How bold the production team is to write James Bond directly, and it is for personal love.

In the present moment, the most famous male image in the world who was once misogynistic has undergone such a major emotional change, which is actually quite significant for the times.

3. Would you please let Ana take over 007 directly?

No. 06 “Eternals”

US release time: 2021-11-05
Starring: Angelina Jolie/ Gemma Chan / Richard Madden
North American box office: $164 million

1. Disney may be too eager to put weights on Chloé Zhao.
2. “Eternals” is the worst Marvel movie in recent years.
3. Before seeing the film, do not rush to comment on the controversy that breeds outside the play.

No.05 “F9: The Fast Saga”

US release date: 2021-06-25
Starring: Vin Diesel / John Cena/ Michelle Rodriguez
North American Box Office: $173 million

1. Racing x Superhero x Sci-Fi = Embarrassment.
2. The global popularity continues, but the reputation of the film continues to decline. It is the bottom of the ratings of the “Fast and Furious” series.
3. What is the next stop in space?

No. 04 “Black Widow”

US release date: 2021-07-09
Starring: Scarlett Johansson / Florence Pugh / Rachel Weisz / David Harbour
North American Box Office: $183 million

1. “Black Widow” is released at the same time on theaters and online, and “Black Widow” can still achieve this box office result. It is worthy of being the first heroine of MCU.
2. However, the black widow is sacrificed both in and out of the play.

3 Marvel, you have no heart.

No. 03 “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”

US release date: 2021-10-01
Starring: Tom Hardy / Woody Harrelson/Michelle Williams / Naomie Harris
North American Box Office: $212 million

1. How interesting the first one is, how boring this one is.
2. Have you got the love between Venom and the hero?
3. Marvel, you have no heart x2.

No. 02 “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”

US release date: 2021-09-03
Starring: Simu Liu / Tony Leung / Awkwafina / Meng’er Zhang / Fala Chen / Michelle Yeoh
North American Box Office: $224 million

1. The taste of the film is similar to that of Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. Americans praise it as wonderful, but Chinese think it is bad.
2. It is not the same thing as the box office explosion of “Black Panther”.

No. 01 “Spider-Man: No Way Home”

US release date: 2021-12-17
Starring: Tom Holland / Zendaya / Benedict Cumberbatch
North American Box Office: US$470 million (Hot Screening)

1. “Spider-Man: No Way Home” topped the North American annual crown throne for three days in the first weekend. It is this year’s global box office champion and the highest-grossing film in Sony Pictures history.

Superheroes are still needed in this era.

2. Three generations of Spider-Man in the same frame? Three generations of Spider-Man in the same frame! The three generations of Spider-Man are in the same frame…

2021 Japan Box Office Top 5

Japan, a veritable two-dimensional country, the top 5 at the box office are either theatrical animation movies or the live-action comics.

Here, I additionally recommend “I Fell in Love Like A Flower Bouquet”, which ranked 8th in the box office, which was also the dark horse of Japanese low-cost romance films last year.

Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, an unnamed Japanese director who has attracted much international attention on the list, and his two movies “Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy” and “Drive My Car”.

The following data and rankings come from the Japanese website eiga.com and the official announcement of the film.

No.5″るろうに剣心 Final Chapter”

Release time in Japan: April 23, 2021
Starring: Takeru Satoh / Emi Takei / Mackenyu Arata
Japanese box office: 4.34 billion yen

1. Japan’s best and most successful real-life comics in the past ten years.
2. Pay attention to the party who watched the film. The final chapter is divided into the finale “Human Punishment Chapter” and Memories Killing “Remembrance Chapter”.
3. The old sentence, after Takeru Satoh, there is no more Jianxin.

No.4 “Tokyo Rebecca”

Release time in Japan: 2021-07-09
Starring: Takumi Kitamura / Yûki Yamada / Yosuke Sugino / Mio Imada
Japanese box office: 4.47 billion yen

1. You think it’s unremarkable, but it’s another live-action comic that has exploded in Japan.
2. After rebirth, the waste male protagonist travels back to the past, trying to save the fate of his ex-girlfriend and himself.

The reasons for the plot and popularity can be summed up as a fight between super-teen and passionate male high school students.

3. Is its setting a bit “YuYu Hakusho”? Hey, this actor Takumi Kitamura is the actor of the live-action version of Yuusuke Urameshi (the actor of “YuYu Hakusho”).

No.3 “竜とそばかすの姫”

Release time in Japan: 2021-07-16
CV: Ryo Narita /Shôta Sometani / Tina Tamashiro
Japanese box office: 6.53 billion yen

1. Japan also handed over the “Metaverse” homework this year.
2. The film is supervised by Mamoru Hosoda. His representative works include “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”, “Summer Wars”, “The Wolf Children Ame and Yuki”, and his works are very popular.
3. The 17-year-old girl has become a world-renowned online singer in the virtual world U, which is roughly equivalent to Lina Bell and its “inner gall” (that is, the actor under the doll costume).

The film’s painting is gorgeous and the song is nice, but it’s not a high-quality “Summer Wars”.

No.2 “Detective Detective Konan, Scarlet Maru”

Release time in Japan: 2021-04-16
CV: Minami Takayama / Wakana Yamazaki / Rikiya Koyama / Megumi Hayashibara
Japanese box office: 7.65 billion yen

1. Conan’s 24th theater version, the box office broke another record.
2. The highlight of the film is no longer the reasoning of the Grim Reaper elementary school students, but more and more exciting and nonsense action scenes, belonging to the Akai Shūichi family.
3. The film has lost the heat of this year’s Winter Olympics. To some extent, can it be said that the Conan theater version has been made into the Japanese version of “007”?

No.1 “Shin·Emsensen Theatrical Version:│▌”

Release time in Japan: 2021-03-08
CV: Megumi Ogata / Megumi Hayashibara /Yûko Miyamura/ Akira Ishida / Maaya Sakamoto
Japanese box office: 10.28 billion yen

1. I still remember watching the report at that time, saying that many middle-aged homeboys lined up for the first day of the show at zero o’clock. After watching them, they remained silent in the theater for a long time.
2. It is not the best EVA finale, but it still means “reconciliation” that is magnified infinitely.

The teenager who has evaded several times still has to return to the reality with a little regret. This is what the ruffian wants to express.

3. Whether you are satisfied or not, youth is over.

[Other statistics included]:

No.6 “New Solution: Romance of the Three Kingdoms” (4.03 billion): Yûichi Fukuda spoofs the Three Kingdoms crazy.

No.7 “ARASHI ANNIVERSARY TOUR 5×20 FILM “RECORD OF MEMORIES”” (4 billion): concert documentary.

No.8 “I Fell in Love Like A Flower Bouquet” (3.81 billion): This year’s most worth watching romance film.

No.9″Muska レード·ナイト” (3.778 billion): Takuya Kimura, Masami Nagasawa “Muska レード·ホテル” sequel.

No.10 “Fast and Furious 9” (3.637 billion): Omitted.

2021 Korea Box Office Top 5

South Korea is the world of commercial action movies, and finally won the title by the main theme movie.

However, South Korea’s 2021 vote has given way to “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, which has reached the top of the world. Here we still count the most popular local movies.

Interestingly, three of the top five are related to China.

The following rankings and data come from the Blue Dragon Award and KOFIC movie box office official website.

1. A criminal action movie about telephone fraud, the male protagonist was cheated out of the money, and then sneaked into the fraud group to get revenge.
2. The key is that the headquarters of the fraud group in the movie is “Shenyang, China”, and the actual location is Xi’an.

This is the background of “FIREFLIES IN THE SUN” in Southeast Asia, the actual location of Guangzhou, is there any difference in the same way?

3. The film is an adaptation of a real case.
