Google has released its list of top trending movies of 2021, and it’ll surprise no one to see that the biggest blockbuster movies of the year topped the list. Releases from Marvel and DC both made the list, as did many of the movies that streamed on HBO Max, including Dune and Space Jam.
Though it was still a strange year for movie releases, as studios tried to utilize a dual streaming and in-person model, people were apparently still interested in going to the movies in real life. According to Google, “movies near me” was the third top trending search for things “near me,” after only COVID-19 vaccines and testing.
