The 10 Most Surprising Box Office Hits Of 2017

Despite studios crying that they didn't make enough money this year (maybe it'd help if they stopped hiring all these abusers and put an end to all their scandals?), 2017 provided a smorgasbord of movies. As usual, we got the big blockbusters, but we also received some surprising box office hits that no one saw coming. To date, 16 films have grossed over $500 million.

Thor: Ragnarok

Recommended Videos

If we’re being honest, Thor is probably the blandest Avenger after Hawkeye. His two solo films weren’t exactly riveting and his bro, Loki, is far more popular (and cooler) than him. Did anyone really want a third solo outing for the Asgardian, then?

Well, what Taika Waititi did with Thor: Ragnarok was tap into the mythos of Jack Kirby and deliver an exciting, funny, and entertaining buddy-cop adventure featuring Thor and Hulk. From the orgasmic soundtrack to the kaleidoscopic colors, no one could’ve predicted how awesome this movie would turn out.

Also, can you believe a Thor film actually destroyed Justice League at the box office? Yip. Thor: Ragnarok earned over $840 million, exceeding the wildest of expectations and becoming the seventh highest-grossing film of 2017. The movie’s title might be a tad glum, but its success was far from it. Heck, we still have the Led Zeppelin song in our head over a month after its release.
