With 2016 behind us, it’s time to explore the slate of exciting movies opening in theaters over the next 12 months – some that we’ve waited a very long time for and can’t wait to see! There's a new Star Wars , more high profile superhero movies than ever before, several long-awaited adaptations and sequels, and much, much more making up our list of the most anticipated movies of 2017 .
Some interesting quick observations: Dwayne Johnson's name keeps popping up, there are six hotly anticipated movies in March, before the traditional summer blockbuster season even begins, and there are more DC branded and Marvel Studios movies in theaters than any other year.
How the list was generated: Five members of the Screen Rant team listed their top 30 movies currently confirmed for wide theatrical release in 2017 at the time of writing (end of 2016) and is based on their interests at that time . Films listed by each staffer get points for being listed in their personal top 30 and additional points for where they were ranked. The scores by movie for all participants were tallied up to provide us the below listed ranking.
Keep in mind, most of these films have barely begun marketing at the time of publication and the starting list began at 100. This is a tally of five separate lists and no doubt yours will be different so before you ask "why is or isn't _____ on this list?!" you know why. Share your most anticipated movies in the comments so we can compare! And here's last year's list of our 30 most anticipated movies of 2016 .
30. Jumanji
Release Date: December 22, 2017
Director: Jake Kasdan
Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Jack Black, Alex Wolff, Bobby Cannavale, Nick Jonas, Rhys Darby, Tim Matheson
Studios: Columbia Pictures, Sony
While it keeps the same title as the Robin Williams classic from the '90s, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson promises that the 2017 version is not a reboot, and could very well be a sequel. Reports indicate the new Jumanji follows four kids who find an old video game console and get sucked into the game to find a precious jewel, and their in-game Avatars are the big name celebs we know (Johnson, Hart, Gillan, www.mobanewshub.com and Black). This might be the ultimate family movie for holidays 2017, and the studio has so much confidence in it that it's going up against Star Wars: Episode VIII .
29. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
Release Date: May 12, 2017
Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Charlie Hunnam, Annabelle Wallis, Jude Law, Katie McGrath, Hermione Corfield, Eric Bana. Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Aidan Gillen, Djimon Hounsou
Studios: Safehouse Pictures, Warner Bros.
A highly stylized retelling of the classic King Arthur story, Guy Ritchie is back in the director's chair for this epic period piece starring Charlie Hunnam ( Sons of Anarchy, Pacific Rim ) and Ritchie regular, Jude Law. This one's been in development a while and the trailer mixes some interesting genres but this director and this cast rarely disappoints so we're in for this fantastic period epic - one of few coming in 2017.
28. Baywatch
