10. “Justice League” — $635.9 million
Warner Bros. Domestic: $219.4 million
For all the bashing the movie took from critics and the fans, this latest DC Comics movie was able to crack the top 10 (let's check in a couple of weeks to see if "The Last Jedi" ruins the party). It's the worst performer of any of the DC releases to date, but on the bright side, it likely won't lose $100 million for Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. Domestic: $327.4 million
WB couldn't be more happy with how this adaptation of Stephen King's book, made on a $35 million budget, performed at the box office. And it was a hit internationally, where horrors usually don't do as strong.
8. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” — $794.8 million
Domestic: $172.5 million
People in the US may have had enough of the "Pirates" franchise, but it's still working overseas. So expect more.
7. “Wonder Woman” $821.8 million
Domestic: $412.5 million
It's Warner Bros. crowning moment so far with its DC Comics franchise. The movie wasn't just great, it was a beacon for the female empowerment movement going on in the country.
6. “Thor: Ragnarok” — $841.8 million
Domestic: $306.3 million
Marvel did a major pivot with the "Thor" movies and it worked. The wacky feel, lead by its director Taika Waititi, gave a spike in business to one of the few Marvel characters whose standalone movies were getting stale.
5. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” — $863.5 million
Domestic: $389.8 million
This Marvel title, on the other hand, didn't need any changes at all. This sequel to the overachieving original movie came back with more fun and sweet needle drops.
4. “Spider-Man: Homecoming” — $880.1 million
Domestic: $334.2 million
Sony teamed with Marvel Studios for its latest relaunch of Spidey and it was a masterful move. The inclusion of Tony Stark led to a light-hearted story and the franchise's new Peter Parker, Tom Holland, did the rest with his charm.
3. “Despicable Me 3” — $1.03 billion
Domestic: $264.5 million
It wasn't a great year for animated releases compared to the past couple. This is the only one that really knocked it out of the park around the world. Expect Universal and Illumination to call on Steve Carell to do more (and more Minions movies, too).
2. “The Fate of the Furious” — $1.23 billion
Domestic: $225.7 million
Not even infighting among the enormous stars of this franchise can stop its money making potential. It's pretty much bulletproof overseas, where the movie made $1 billion!
1. “Beauty and the Beast” — $1.26 billion
Domestic: $504 million
Disney's process of doing live-action versions of its animated classics is going smoothly. 2016's "Jungle Book" almost hit the $1 billion mark worldwide ($966.5 million) and "Beauty and the Beast" did this year. On deck: "Lion King."
Poster Comment:
Look at and examine these flicks...
Hollywood seems to have concentrated on a single common thread and agenda:
Simply, to package a lurid, violent Dark Realm as a glamorous, glorious alternative-reality.
Why are our young peoples' mushy minds being inundated and conditioned into expecting and accepting the existence of Dark Realm with characters who have "god-like" powers??
Coincidence?
Might the Elites-Occultists know more than they're letting on?
Is this in preparation of the coming Antichrist?
There is quite a bit of chatter out there about the actual mission of the CERN project in Europe, the actual mission and identities of the minions of the NWO, the worldwide pedophile activity among the elites and occultist behavior and rites, and End Times prophecy.
The world is changing rapidly. Not for the better.
How close are we? Whether you are a Believer or not, most of you know in your heart that there is something very wrong in this world; that it's getting worst by the day. It is palpable.
Hollywood's job has increasingly been more about propaganda and brainwashing, and normalizing evil and immorality... and far less about "entertainment." Never more so than during the last half-dozen years or so.
How much further debased and into the leftist and lurid, violent "fantasy" world will it become? To what end? What kind of world are the Elites' preparing their sheep for? Who and what do these movie demigods represent?
