Live Poll: Most Searched Movies 2020

It's a little too soon to see which of these films are the most influential. I'm assuming you mean which of these films have been the forefather to a current or burgeoning trend of newer movies (story-wise/stylistically/etc...). You kind of need more than several months (at least) between now and when this type of question can be answered. We should probably be thinking in terms of years if you really want to understand the influential nature of these movies and what comes afterward.

You can say Tenet is likely the most influential movie of the lot (but not for reasons you typically would state with these type of questions) but because as the only major studio release during the heart of COVID season and its status as a box office flop, the film definitely influenced Warner Brothers to move ALL of its 2021 releases directly to HBO Max (removing them from their theatrical release schedule).

I appreciate the outside-the-box question for the poll suggestion. It likely just isn't going to be answered as you intended and people will default to the "which one of these films is my favorite" answers... unless you can reword the question or clarify what you mean by it.

This is an interesting idea; I never even thought about Google searches as the foundation of a poll and it's a really good one. I have to think more about the question and options, though: I'm still deliberating.

I'll also re-read Tsar's comment and your response and see if I get any ideas related to your question in that post. 

Brijesh,

I'm guessing that you based this poll on this Google page:

Year in Search 2020 - See what was trending in 2020

https://trends.google.com/trends/yis/2020/GLOBAL/

The results for this page may not be stable. I get slightly different results than what you report in your poll.

This is the world wide trends for the top 5 films in your poll:
