Yes. But it was also non-existent for the demographic that posts the most on the internet. It was a boomer sensation.

But for me, and it's anecdotal, wasn't a movie constantly spoken about by people in my circle (friends, coworkers, family, etc.)No Time To Die was pretty notable forand was the highest grossing movie of the pandemic prior to No Way Home.killing James Bond
As I said in the OP, it's not about what made the most money. It's about the discussion. Get Out and Spider-Verse made way less money than Aquaman, but were spoken about more.Aquaman also made $1B and that wasn't long ago.
Also, Bridgerton on Netflix was all anyone talked about for a while when it was released. Rege-Jean Page even hosted SNL!
The Hunger Games?Harry Potter?
I was 14 when 300 came out... Waking up every morning doing sit ups and push ups. And I know everyone at school was doing the same thing. Nerds, jocks, stoners, etc.I remember how much 300 was talked about when it came out. Never seen so many boys actively wanting to be more active/in the gym when it came out.
Yeah Anthony Mackie spoke about this a while back and that popped in my head which is why I made the thread.I too miss the days of movies as cultural events. The speed and frequency of blockbusters these days is unparalleled so that feeling no longer exists.
Neither of those would I consider phenomenons. Great movies. In the case of Quiet Place a popular movie.Everything Everywhere All at Once has been getting a lot of buzz. A Quiet Place was a bit of a phenomenon too.
Yeah, I can see Minions are now to a certain generation Bugs Bunny or Donald Duck. It’ll be interesting if 50 years from now they’ll still be making cartoons of them.
