10 Box Office Hits You Forgot Even Existed

10. Storks

You could be forgiven for letting the existence of Storks slip your mind. While the 2016 family film earned a solid $182.4m at the box office it still lagged way behind the competition, and finished as the tenth highest-grossing animated feature of the year such is the abundance of animation at the multiplex on an annual basis.

R-rated comedy veteran Nicholas Stoller wrote and co-directed the movie, backed by an ensemble of comedy talents on voice duty that included Andy Samberg, Key & Peele, Jennifer Aniston, Ty Burrell and Danny Trejo of all people. Despite that strong comic pedigree, Storks turned out to be one of the most forgettable animated movies in recent memory.

Not a bad movie by any means, Stoller's sojourn into family-friendly filmmaking does feature some eye-popping visuals and a couple of decent gags, but for the most part it hits all the same major plot and story beats as a hundred other animated movies, and fails to rise above mediocrity.
