Top Movies of 2015


Ant-Man: The best movie of 2015

Top 2015 Movies Worldwide Box Office
Jurassic World pulled in $1.66 Billion in ticket 
sales around the world.


By Gary;

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought Ant-Man would be the best movie of 2015.

So many of the other films are retreads of one kind or another.  Though good movies, they are no longer original. As a kid I hated the Ant-Man comic and character, but this movie was enormously original, funny and entertaining. Who would have thought it?

On a side note, we see the growth of foreign markets for movies.  The United States' box office is almost becoming an afterthought.

For example, Fast and Furious 7 did 76.7% of their gross outside of the U.S., James Bond did 76.8% and Mission Impossible 71.4%.

2016 looks to be an even better year.
