Fandango has put out the results of a survey asking what films and roles they are most looking forward to this year. With The Force Awakens fever still in full effect, Rogue One not surprisingly took the top spot. The fact that X-Men: Apocalypse only took the number eight spot after last year’s acclaimed Days of Future Past goes to show how many big movies are coming out this year. Noticeably absent from the top ten films is Ghostbusters. That must be on the top “Why Did They Make This” list of films.
