2016 Movies

The big Oscar winners this year were La La Land, Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea

Want to know the best 2016 Movies?  How about the worst 2016 Movies?  Curious about 2016 Movies did at the box office or which 2016 Movies picked up the most Oscar® nominations and Oscar® wins? Need to know which 2016 Movies movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.  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.  Want to know the current Top Domestic Box Office Hit of 2016?  Just hit the sort button on that column and you will see Finding Dory in first place.   Want to know which movies got the best and worst reviews of the year?  Just hit the sort button on that column and you will see Moonlight in first place and Meet The Blacks in last place. You can also sort by Ultimate Movie Ranking scores…which combines box office, reviews and award.   Sorting that column shows Zootopia at the top and Meet The Blacks at the bottom of the rankings.

Any movie that has earned over $5 million dollars in domestic box office gross is included in the rankings.  There are a few that earned less than $5 million that made the rankings…but they have a popular star attached to them….like Tom Hanks in A Hologram For A King.    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.

Zootopia currently has the number one spot....but not thinking it is going to get much Award love at the end of the year

Zootopia has a spot in the Top 5…can it hold that spot over the next few months?

  1. Hello Bruce,

    I’ve seen only 19 movies of this list. I love Civil War and Rogue One. Two films that I have not seen yet, but I would love to see : Sully and Arrival.
    The baddest I’ve seen this year : God of Egypt.
    The movie I will never see : Ben-Hur. Don’t touch this masterpiece !

    Another a great job Bruce.

    1. Hey Laurent….thanks for checking out this updated page….it only needs the Oscar winners to be almost completed now…though it will take months for some of these movies to make it out of theaters in 2017. My tally is rapidly increasing…I am now up to seeing 94 of these movies.

      Civil War and Rogue One are great entertaining movies….while Sully and Arrival give you more drama….recommend both movies for sure. I thought God Of Egypt was ok…but maybe because my expectations were so low….lol. Thanks for the visit and the comment.

  2. Congrats to La La Land for nabbing 14 Oscar nominations, tying with All About Eve and Titanic for most Oscar nominations in movie history. If it wins 12 Oscars it would be the biggest winner ever. So far only three films have won 11 Oscars – Ben-Hur (1959), Titanic (1997) and Return of the King (2003).

    No nominations for Deadpool, Sully and Scorsese’s Silence.

    Arrival has done well, a Best Picture nom for a sci-fi film doesn’t happen often. I really want to see that film now.

    About a year ago they were predicting Birth of a Nation would win all the awards, but it has been snubbed by Oscar.

    1. Hey Oscar…looks like La La Land is the one to beat…14 nominations….wow! I knew it was going to get a lot….but not that many. I think it has an excellent chance to tie or even break that record of 11 Oscars…the most it can win is 13….as it has two songs nominated against each other. I think it will be the favorite to win in most categories.

      Though….Streep might burst Emma Stone’s bubble with a win…which would ride the anti-Trump wave…..though no way is Streep’s performance even close to some of her truly great performances…..it is a cute little movie with a nice Streep performance.

      Deadpool got shut out….but Sully and Silence did manage to get one nomination each…..Sully really lost steam since it’s opening weekend….it has now almost been 20 years since Hanks’ last nomination. Thanks for the comment and the visit.

  3. More of a classic fan. But still fun page to look out. I would love to see more of these year pages. How about 1944? or 1945?

    1. Hey TCM Mike…thanks for the visit and the comment…especially since you are a classics fan. I will add 1944 and 1945 to my request list…thanks for the suggestions.

    1. Hey Dan….wow…134….and I thought I was doing pretty good at 48. I included Allied because I recently found it’s long range forecast…so that one might end up being way way off….especially on the critic/audience side of things. Thanks for the tally count. A very impressive number.
