Bad Boys for Life, Mulan; Here are the Highest Grossing Movies on Netflix in 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic dealt a serious blow to Box offices across the world this year. Most of the anticipated blockbusters like Wonder Woman had to be delayed due to most cinemas being shut down for an extended period.

Although Wonder Woman 1984 is finally coming out at Christmas, the total grossing of movies this year can not hit the $42.5 billion milestone recorded in 2019.

Instead of cinemas, Box offices had to depend on streaming platforms to release movies and rake in some revenue this year. Netflix was one of the most popular streaming platforms people turned to for entertainment.

So, we are examining some of its highest grossing movies of 2020.
