25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2017 - Ranked

20. 47 Metres Down

47 Meters Down
Entertainment Studios

Release Date: June 16th

Billed As: SHARKS! Limited Oxygen, too, but mostly SHARKS!!

Hype: In original distributors Dimension's hands, this would have been a direct-to-DVD flick that nobody would have seen, despite the revival in Shark movie interest thanks to The Shallows. Mercifully, they were replaced by Entertainment Studios, who changed the title and pushed it to the big screen, which is where shark attacks work best.

It's a fairly simple idea - having two sisters trapped in a shark cage on the ocean floor surrounded by sharks with less than an hour of oxygen left - and it's the kind of bullet-proof story that means it'll still be entertaining even if it's a little poor.
