Films based on Marvel comics made up 30 percent of total box office revenue in 2021. These films included four new installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Marvel movies accounted for five of the six highest-grossing domestic films of the year and represented the only movies to crack the $200 million mark for the year. Released on July 9, 2021, Black Widow was the first Marvel film of the year. Despite being available for free to Disney+ subscribers at the same time as the film’s theatrical release, Black Widow grossed $183.65 million in the United States, good for the No. 4 domestic release of the year. The film’s success encouraged Disney+ to provide the next Marvel film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, with a traditional theatrical release. The decision paid off, with Shang-Chi grossing $224.54 million in the US, finishing second in the year-end box office. The Eternals, directed by Academy Award-winning director Chloe Zhao, was the only Marvel film to finish the year outside the top five, trailing F9: The Fast Saga, but the movie still managed a $164.61 million gross. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s greatest triumph of 2021 was released with just a few weeks left in the year, but the timing did not hamper the box office results for Spider-Man: No Way Home. A joint release by Disney and Sony, the third MCU Spider-Man film grossed $572.98 million. In just two weeks, the film established itself as not only the clear winner of the 2021 box office, but the No. 10 domestic film of all time and the No. 12 global release.
