Elsewhere, Google has released its Year In Search, with Eternals and Red Notice among the top results.
Three Marvel films appear in the leading five search results, with surprise blockbuster hit Godzilla vs. Kong and Zack Synder’s Netflix zombie film Army Of The Dead taking up the tail-end of the film list.
Twitter meanwhile has revealed that Shrek and Dune among 2021’s most-discussed films.
Whereas 2021’s big releases took up the entirety of the latter list, Twitter’s had one exception: Shrek. The CGI fairytale received its 20th anniversary in 2021, and became hotly discussed on the social media platform.
DC‘s The Batman was the other exception at the top of the list. The upcoming film isn’t set for release until March 2022, but has released a prominent marketing campaign and movie updates across social media.
