The best2018 Movieshave almost all come and gone. It’s hard to believe, but the year is nearly over and it’s already time to look back at all of the great movies that were released in the last 12 months. A new video takes all of the highlights from the year and crams them into a 6-minute video set to three perfect songs. The video even packs in some of the movies that haven’t been released yet, includingAquaman,Vice, andBumblebee. It’s all here from the action to the tear jerking and everything in between.
Marvel Studios’Black Pantherwas the movie that truly kicked off 2018, breaking records left and right, becoming a cultural phenomenon. The Ryan Coogler-directed comic book adventure is featured in the mashup video next to scenes fromAnnihilation,Christopher Robin, andFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwaldas well.Mary Queen of Scotsis shown next toThe NunandMary Poppins Returns. It’s easy to lose track of all of the movies that came out this year and just focus on thebox office monsters.
As far as the box office is concerned,Infinity War,Incredibles 2,Black Panther,Solo: A Star Wars Story,Ant-Man and the Wasp,Mission: Impossible 6,Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,The Grinch, andVenomall lead the domestic top ten for 2018. The worldwide list throws the recently released Queen biopicBohemian Rhapsodyas well as Steven Spielberg’sReady Player Oneinto the mix as well. All of these movies are the ones that are easy to spot in the 2018 movie mashup video, pitted up against some underdogs likeMandyandThoroughbreds.
It was a huge year for movie theaters in North America where the averagebox officeticket price was $8.97. It’s believed that over 1.2 billion tickets have been sold so far, which makes for over $11 billion in sales and over a billion dollars more than 2017. That’s not even counting movies that debuted on Netflix and other streaming platforms likeAnnihilationandThe Cloverfield Paradox.Crazy Rich Asianswas another movie that brought moviegoers into the theaters whileGreen Bookis currently generating Academy Award buzz, which is also bringing people into theaters withWidowsas well.
The year still isn’t technically over, but it’s pretty cool to look back in this mashup video and see things that you’ve seen multiple times, or to be reminded of something that slipped through the cracks over the busy year. So much stuff seems to fall through the cracks just because it’s nearly impossible to keep up with everything that comes out in a year. Thankfully, the holidays are approaching, which should allow for some catchup time with some of the movies that you missed out on over the last 12 years. You can check out all of the movies from 2018 in around 6 minutes below, thanks to the Sleepy Skunk YouTube channel.
