Oh, what a year it has been at the box office. We have seen several movies crack the $1 billion mark, and others have raked in every dollar imaginable. Plenty of movies have underperformed, and a great deal have exceeded “experts’” expectations. The box office race has been a wild ride since the beginning of the year, and with December right around the corner, expect to see a few more surprises. Sure, you’re going to watch all of the Christmas classics, but the December box office is a full-on juggernaut every year.
Enjoying a film is subjective to the person in the audience, and movies with terrible reviews have been able to lure in audience members to bolster their ticket sales. You may hate some of the biggest franchises in the world, but they continue to make absurd amounts of cash. Of course, for every movie that stinks and overperforms, you will have some that are critical darlings that post embarrassingly low numbers.
The 10 movies that we have selected for our list today are some of the best that 2017 has had to offer. We made sure to include different genres to keep things diverse and interesting. This list could have been full of movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but where is the fun in that? Whether you have already seen these films or are preparing yourselves for an amazing theatrical experience, your year won’t feel complete until you watch these movies. You threw in the towel on your resolutions months ago, so do yourself a favor and give these a watch.
1. Blade Runner 2049
Is this the most misunderstood franchise of all time? When the original Blade Runner film came out, it received a lukewarm reception and put up some disappointing box office numbers. Over the years, however, it became a bona fide cult classic, and when Blade Runner 2049 was announced, the fandom rejoiced. Cut to 2017 and this film, much like its predecessor, disappointed at the box office. It is hard to figure out why these films don’t fare well while in theaters, but anyone who has watched Blade Runner 2049 will tell you that this film is a worthy followup to the classic.
Boasting an incredible cast, Blade Runner 2049 also has some of the most spectacular visuals that you will ever have the privilege of seeing on film. If you missed seeing it in theaters, then hit up a Red Box when it is released and feel free to kick yourself for not seeing it on the big screen.
