20 Highest Grossing Movies Of 2017 - Ranked Worst To Best

6. It

Box Office: $698.1 million (#11)

Pretty much nobody could've expected that this $35 million R-rated horror flick would crack almost $700 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing horror film of all time.

And it totally deserves it. The new adaptation of Stephen King's classic manages to serve up broad scares for more casual audiences, while also putting plenty of paid to its young protagonists, who give remarkable performances across the board.

Ultimately, though, the film's success comes down to Bill Skarsgard's performance as Pennywise, and against considerable audience scepticism, he delivers a bone-chilling performance that stands tall alongside Tim Curry's more playful rendition of the character.

Unafraid to dig deep into the grimmer aspects of King's novel while putting an uncommon focus on characterisation, It is an instant horror classic, and one that actually leaves fans eager for the sequel.
