BOX OFFICE: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Ranked As The Highest Grossing Film Of 2016
Marvel Studios finished at the top of the box office in 2016, with Captain America: Civil War placing first on the list of highest grossing films. Hit the jump for more details and the top 10 list...
2016 was a favourable year for fantasy, animated features, and - most importantly - comic book films! According to an analysis from The Hollywood Reporter (via Box Office Mojo), Marvel Studios' Captain America: Civil War lead 2016 with a $1.15 billion haul at the box office, with Disney and Pixar's Finding Dory coming in a close second with $1.028 billion. Several other CBM's found their way into the top 10 as well, including Batman v Superman, Deadpool, and Suicide Squad.
As a whole, 2016 wasn't a great year for everyone; only 26 films managed to cross $100 million domestically, and a collection of box office bombs ( such as God of Egypt, Ben-Hur, The Finest Hours, and Allied) lost a combined total of about $1 billion. Disney, however, continued to thrive, commanding an whopping 26.4 percent of the North American market thanks to the massive success of Civil War, The Jungle Book, Zootopia, and Finding Dory, along with the recently released Moana and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Check out the full Top 10 list below! What films do you think will top the list in 2017?

“Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore has revealed that the original idea for the third Captain America movie was very different to the threequel that would ultimately become Civil War...
There have been a lot of incredible fight scenes brought to life on screen by Marvel and DC over the years, but these disappointing efforts failed to do the comics justice and simply cannot be forgiven!

Before becoming Captain America, Chris Evans starred as the Human Torch in two Fantastic Four films. Now, the actor has revealed that he would be open to reprising the role should the opportunity arise.
Thankfully, Marvel Studios was eventually able to disband the "Creative Committee," but it's now been revealed that, in their wisdom, they tried to stop Captain America from fighting Iron Man in the MCU.
