Star Wars 8 tops Most Anticipated Movies of 2017

It seems The Force is strong with ‘Star Wars 8’.

Now that 2016 is coming to a close, all eyes are on next year’s big releases. And there are plenty of them – we’ve got a new ‘Star Wars’ movie, several Marvel flicks and even a live-action remake of ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

But the most anticipated? Obviously, it’s ‘Star Wars 8’.

According to a poll conducted by cinema site Fandango, ‘Star Wars 8’ has topped the list of most anticipated films of 2017.

“Episode VIII is looking to be the movie event of 2017, just as Rogue One was the movie event of 2016. Disney keeps doing this every year,” said Fandango editor Erik Davis. “They concentrate on that Star Wars moment and each year it explodes.”

But ‘Star Wars’ isn’t the only winner in this poll.

Coming in at number two is Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’. And director James Gunn is pretty pleased with the result.

“If we’re going to come in number two after anyone, I’m glad it’s Star Wars,” he said.

In fact, the Fandango poll is dominated by superhero event movies, despite ‘Beauty and the Beast’ taking a respectable third place. ‘Wonder Woman’ follows in fourth with ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ in fifth and ‘Justice League’ nabbing sixth place.

‘The Fate of the Furious’ comes in a number seven, with ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ inexplicably following at number eight. ‘Logan’ rounds out the top 10 superhero entries in ninth place, with ‘Despicable Me 3’ at number ten.

The poll surveyed more than 2000 site visitors who all described themselves as frequent moviegoers, and was conducted the week beginning 19 December. All films scheduled for national release were included.
