As an avid movie watcher, I love going to the theater and getting to see a movie on the big screen while having a big bag of popcorn in my hands. Thus, here are 10 movies that are a must-watch once they hit the theaters this year!

7. Split

This movie seems to be about a man with multiple personality disorder that abducts 3 girls and the only way for the girls to get out of this trap is to have one of his personalities let them out. This horror thriller is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering what is happening.

6. Logan

Hugh Jackman has played the wolverine for several years now and is finally getting a movie to play off of the comics, "Logan". This movie, especially for X-Men fans, will sure be interesting with characters such as Professor X played again by Patrick Stewart.

5. The Fate of the Furious

As if a Fast and Furious movie isn't enough, this series has all of our favorite characters such as Dom, Letty, Hobbs, Tej, and Roman but also has a new character played by Charlize Theron which is sure to bring some new light onto the table. This action packed movie will keep us interested, for sure.

4. War for the Planet of the Apes

For me, the first movie was extremely engaging because it made me wonder if this could actually happen in my lifetime. In this movie, Caesar and his apes are forced to engage in a war with an army of humans and this action movie is going to bring some different kind of life to the movie screen, especially after the large success Rise of the Planet of the Apes was.

3. Baywatch

This action/comedy is sure to bring laughs among the theaters with Zac Efron, Dwayne Johnson, Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario and Kelly Rohrbach.

2. Fifty Shades Darker

The first installment of this series was a massive hit despite some of the controversy of the first film for being too mature and this second film is set to break box office records to see the relationship of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele become something new.

1. Beauty and the Beast

Just as Disney has done with Sleeping Beauty by creating Maleficent, they have turned the once animated princess movie into a movie with real actresses/actors and with Emma Watson as Belle, this movie is sure to break box office expectations!
