Not so long ago, the end of 2016 came to an end - very generous with large-scale blockbusters that gathered multi-million box office and won the love of fans around the world.
And still the question begs, what are they - the highest grossing films of 2016-2017? What films deserve such a high-profile title? We'll figure out.
The list of films is built on the principle of the highest grossing film - then in descending order - to the least grossing. The list does not demonstrate an attempt to show which movie is better and which is worse - only dry box office figures.
1. Logan | Cash collection of 445 million dollars
Logan (2017). Based on the dry language of numbers, the highest grossing film is the final episode of the story about "old people X" - "Logan: Wolverine". Unlike all previous Marvel films, “Logan” is a very gloomy picture, which says that the story is over and even Wolverine is left very short, like Professor Xavier.
Nevertheless, there is hope for the salvation of people X. Wolverine clone girl is the last hope. The final chapter in Logan’s story has already gathered amazing reviews from leading critics and good ratings from viewers. At the moment, the film has accumulated 445 million dollars and fees are still ongoing.
2. Fifty shades darker | Box office gross $ 370 million

And yet, the beloved is still together and once again threatening them - the former beloved of Gray still does not want to leave him alone, which means Anastacia still has to defend herself from their anger.
The continuation of the sensational erotic drama is on the list of the highest-grossing films of 2016-2017 in second place with box office revenues of $ 370 million, second only to the Marvel blockbuster.
3. Three X's: World Domination | Box office $ 345 million
Three X's: World Domination (2017). The third part of the “Three X” series takes the third line in the rating of the highest grossing films with total fees - 345 million dollars.
Xander Cage returns from the next world at the right time, because the world is on the verge of disaster. A group of terrorists plans to launch powerful weapons, and the consequences of its actions promise to be devastating. Cage gathers a team of extremes, and then goes in search of both weapons and bad guys.
The third film will delight you with a good soundtrack, a large portion of humor, a return to the Vin Diesel series and a furious action.
4. Resident Evil: The Last Chapter | Box office $ 307 million
Resident Evil: The Last Chapter (2016). Alice is one of the few who opposes the Umbrella Corporation, which is behind the destruction of human civilization, by spreading the T-virus.
In order to stop the corporation, and after taking the chance to return the hope of salvation to the human race, Alice returns to Raccoon City, where she has to fight the old enemy.
The “last chapter” collected a little, a lot, and 307 million dollars at the box office, which gives her the right to be on the list of the highest grossing films of 2016-2017.
5. Lego Movie: Batman | Box office gross $ 277 million
Lego Movie: Batman (2017). The fifth line of the list of highest-grossing films is occupied by a cartoon about one of the most popular comic book characters - Batman.
The Joker again managed to escape from Arkham Hospital. The culprit continues to terrorize Bruce Wayne's hometown. Batman is once again forced to give up everything in order to stop the clown. However, a masked knight will receive an assistant - a young hero Robin.
Corporate humor, beautiful graphics and close connection with the comics brought the cartoon "Lego Movie: Batman" the love of not only fans, but also critics, and its creators - a good cash register of $ 277 million.
6. Split | Box office 250 million dollars
Split (2016). The low-budget picture "Split" about mental disorder brought the creators as much as $ 250 million, so the film deserves to be called one of the highest-grossing film projects in 2016-2017.
The main role was played by the young actor James McEvoy. He had to portray a character on the screen, in whose head as many as twenty-three personalities get accustomed, for which McEvoy's game was highly appreciated by critics.
The brilliant performance of the leading role and the sharp plot are the business cards of Split. Fans of psychological thrillers are recommended.
7. Kong: Cheper Island | Cash collection of 160 million dollars
Kong: Cheper Island (2017). The restart of the King Kong story started not so long ago and the box office is still ongoing. At the moment, "Kong" has already collected about 160 million dollars and deserves the title of one of the highest grossing films of 2016-2017. And yet, they spent $ 180 million on the filming of Kong, so the blockbuster cannot be considered successful, at least for now.
The plot tells about a young captain who, in search of his brother, poisoned with an experimental group on one of the least studied islands - Skull Island. There, the heroes encountered a monster of incredible size - King Kong.
“Skull Island” boasts a very high graphic level and acting. Nevertheless, the cinema did not achieve much success, since the story of Kong was already logically completed by another director.
8. John Wick 2 | Box office 154 million dollars
John Wick 2 (2017). The continuation of the story of one of the best hired killers - "John Wick 2", collected rave reviews from critics and ordinary viewers.
Keanu Reeves remains in the lead role, and the plot continues exactly from the moment the first film is downloaded. This time, John, being bound by an oath, is obliged to work for an old friend and again forget his dreams of a quiet life.
A dynamic action movie with an abundance of scenes of skirmishes and hand-to-hand battles raised 154 million dollars, which means it deservedly takes a place in the ranking of the highest grossing films.
9. Dog life | Box office revenue of 144 million dollars
Dog Life (2017). In the rating of the highest grossing films of 2016-2017, a low-budget picture about the life of a dog, which after birth is born again with one single purpose, is again included in the service - to serve the person and be his best friend.
"Dog's life" was able to raise about 144 million dollars, which indicates the success of the film adaptation of the novel of the same name, which cost only 22 million dollars.
10. Underworld: Blood Wars | Box office gross $ 85 million
Underworld: Blood Wars (2016). The penultimate film of the beloved franchise “Another World” already completes the list of the highest grossing films of 2016-2017 with total fees of $ 85 million. 35 million were spent on making the film.
The fifth part tells of the supposedly last confrontation between werewolves and vampires, where Celine will play the main role in the performance of Kate Beckinsale.
In fact, Blood Wars was the penultimate film of the Underworld franchise, and not the last as previously planned. Soon the filming of the film “Another World: The Last Chapter” will begin, which will put all the points in the history of Celine.
