Fandango sent out a survey to moviegoers earlier this month asking them to rank their most anticipated films set to arrive in theaters in 2017. And to the surprise of no one, director Rian Johnson’s Episode VIII took the top spot in the survey.
“The new year promises a lot of excitement at the multiplex with a much-heralded return of beloved characters and stories highlighting the year’s top three most anticipated movies, Episode VIII, Guardians 2, and the live-action Beauty and the Beast,” Fandango managing editor Erik Davis said in a statement. “2017 also looks to offer more diverse ensembles, long-awaited big-screen adaptations, surprising star turns, and enough exciting choices to satisfy a wide range of moviegoers.”
Fandango surveyed more than 2,000 moviegoers during the week of Dec. 19 to come up with this year’s rankings. Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson, came in at No. 3, while Wonder Woman and Spider-Man: Homecoming round out the top five.
The complete top 10 list of most anticipated 2017 films culled from the survey is provided below. Daisy Ridley, who will be continuing her journey as Rey in Episode VIII, came in at #2 on their 2017 “Most Anticipated Actress” list.
