Despite what you may have heard, movies were released in 2020. In fact, plenty of them were.
While many movie theaters big and small closed in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film industry soldiered on, determined to release its bevy of content to the masses.
Not all of it, of course. Many of the big tent items — a new James Bond film, Marvel’s “Black Widow,” a “Top Gun” sequel and much more — were pushed to 2021 or taken off the release calendar entirely. And for some, that means there may as well have been zero movies released last year. And that’s fine, if those kinds of movies are your thing. But I’m here to tell you that 2020, against all odds, was a damn good year for film.
