Suicide Squad is the most popular movie of 2016
According to IMDb
1. Suicide Squad
Quote:
Anticipation was high for the first big-budget movie lead by supervillains. All the signs were good with a cast that included Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker and Margot Robbie as the baseball bat-wielding troublemaker Harley Quinn. Robbie stole the show and the film helped position her as IMDb’s top star of 2016. And while there were naysayers for the film, written and directed by David Ayer, Suicide Squad took more than $745 million at the worldwide box office and made it the most popular movie on IMDb in 2016.

2. Captain America: Civil War
3. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Quote:
It was the showdown that comic book fans had waited decades to see on the big screen. But as the two men wrestled with mommy issues, the real star of the show was Wonder Woman – one of several superheroes introduced by the movie to jumpstart DC’s cinematic universe. A critical kicking did not stop the movie from taking more than $873 million at the worldwide box office.

4. Deadpool
Quote:
This R-rated superhero movie, packed with sex and violence, shook up the genre and proved a massive, breakout hit, due in part to a wildly inventive marketing campaign. Not only did it take nearly $783 million at the worldwide box office, it has also been nominated for two Golden Globes including best actor for Ryan Reynolds. At time of writing, Deadpool had the highest IMDb rating of this list, scoring 8.1 out of 10. A sequel is due in 2018.

5. X-Men: Apocalypse
6. The Jungle Book
7. The Magnificent Seven
8. Ghostbusters
Quote:
The team behind Bridesmaids, the best of "Saturday Night Live", and the support of the original Ghostbusters made this one of the most popular movies of the year. While this all-female reboot of the classic 1984 comedy did suffer from a polarizing internet backlash, it went on to take nearly $230 million at the global box office.
