We have been doing a yearly page since 2011….the previous winners were 2011’s The Help, 2012’s Argo, 2013’s Gravity, 2014’s American Sniper, 2015’s The Martians and 2016’s…to be determined.
So what will you find on this page? …You get lots of stats on 2016 Movies. In the following table you can sort the movies any way you want.

Any movie that has earned over $5 million dollars in domestic box office gross is included in the rankings.

We will be updating this page regularly until probably next March….as we determine the 2016 Movie Of The Year. Just so you know. A movie maxes out earning points in the box office category…when it reaches the $200 million domestic mark.

Hi Bruce you beat me by one, I’ve seen 47 of the 150 films currently listed, most recently Dr. Strange, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
But it has not been a good year for movies IMO and many of them despite all the hype have spectacularly backfired, The BFG, Inferno, Ben-Hur, Warcraft, God of Egypt, The Huntsman, Alice 2, Independence Day 2 – the list goes on.
Hopefully 2017 will be a better movie year.
Hey Steve….thanks for checking out this massive update….it had been months since the last time I updated it. So you are only one behind 1…..so I guess we are watching current movies at roughly the same pace. You are 100% correct it has been a rough year for some mega budget movies that pretty got ignored by the public. I think 2016 still has some kick left….Rogue One might be huge. Thanks for the feedback.
I have seen 48 of these movies….almost at 33%. That includes the 13 that I have seen in theaters. The 13 I have seen in theaters….can you tell I have kids?
The Jungle Book
Zootopia
Captain America: Civil War
Deadpool
The BFG
Arrival
Sully
The Secret Life of Pets
Sausage Party
Finding Dory
Trolls
Star Trek: Beyond
Deepwater Horizon
The most prolific actors of this year 2016 (5 or more roles) by Movie Insider. Do you See Joseph Olivieri or Marc Falvo or Cynthia LeBlanc (all high on the Oracle of Bacon in uncredited parts) on the last 3 years lists? James Franco 11 pictures this year, what does he think this is , 1935.
11 James Franco
8 Michael Shannon, Danny Glover, J.K. Simmons
7 Kristen Stewart
6 Aaron Paul, Ben Foster, Ewan McGregor, Ethan Hawke, Isla Fisher, Anna Kendrick, Jesse Eisenberg
5 Zoey Deutch, Kate McKinnon, Matthew McConaughey, Keegan Michael-Key, Corey Stoll, Nick Kroll, Jeremy Irons, Toby Jones, Gal Gadot, Haley Bennett, Amy Adams, Laura Linney, Maria Bello, Octavia Spencer
Outside of Nick Kroll I heard of everyone on the list.
Never heard of Zoey either.
I knew Zoey and Kroll…but Bennett & Michael Key escape me…I probably need to get this page updated….I am probably 4 months behind….not thinking I will be doing a 2017 one….until the year is over. Thanks for visit and comment.
Bennett just played the owner of the ranch being defended in Magnificent Seven and is also in Girl on the Train. Michael Key was in Keanu that terrible kitten comedy back in May.
Hey Dan..excellent information….I am sure now that I know who they are…I will start seeing them everywhere now. 🙂
Wow is James Franco a busy man or what? I agree that output is stuff I see when I am researching stuff in the 1930s. Shannon and Simmons are my favorite character actors working now…they make any movie better. Evan McGregor’s 6 was pretty quiet….I think I can only place 2 currently…meaning 4 unknown to me movies….I find that shocking. Danny Glover at 8? I am impresses he has been that busy. Good stuff here…thanks for sharing.
Saw x-men – apocalyps last night and give it two thumbs up, I like it. I really do not understand the reviews, the bad reviews make no sense at all. Most bad reviews state the many characters and lack of screen time for some, well captain america had a lot of characters and felt jumbled with some characters getting only a few lines, and yet that got better ratings? Pathetic disney and pathetic bad critics.
Hey Quinton…thanks for the mini-review of X-Men 9………it seems audiences like this one better than they did Batman vs Superman. I think it will end up pretty well….when it is all said and done. Thanks for the visit.
Hi
I haven’t seen many 2016 releases yet, I’m a bit like Flora, I prefer to wait until the award season. Although there’s no surprises that there’s a lot of franchise movies out. 300m seems to be the magic number they’re all hitting. One movie I’m really looking forward to is Finding Dory. Nemo was so good and Pixar have such a great track record on sequels. Toy Story 2 and 3 being perfect examples. One film that does puzzle me is My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The reviews were awful and yet it has done reasonably well. To be honest I was never fussed on the original and didn’t see why it done so well.
I recently watched a documentary about Louis B Mayer, I wonder what he, Jack Warner and Sam Goldwyn would think of today’s Hollywood. 70 years ago they were the lords of they surveyed. I don’t think they would even recognise today’s movies. But one thing hasn’t changed, as long as movies are making money, they’ll be made.
But you can’t help but wonder are they going to run out of franchises, I think the idea of star power is dead in the water.
Ps. Seen a trailer for BFG, looks great.
Hey Chris.
1. Award season is right around the corner.
2. It will be real interesting to see how the awards shape up this year. I am betting the Academy is going to be over compensating for their “all white” issue they have had the last two years.
3. I will be seeing Finding Dory myself…..it is very very high on my kids list of movies to see….thankfully it looks like we are going to escape having to see The Angry Birds Movie in theaters.
4. As for My Greek Wedding 2…..I think it did moderately well…..but compared to the original it did almost nothing….but the first was like catching lightening in a bottle….hard to duplicate that massive success.
5. I think Warner and Goldwyn would drive themselves crazy….as they would not have nearly the power they had back then. Stars would run them versus the way they ran stars back then.
6. Seems like there are only three types of movies with wide releases today…..computer animation, superhero, and sequels/remakes….any original idea seems doomed for art houses or straight to home entertainment.
7. BFG does look good….Spielberg still has it.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
