The Top 7 Hollywood Entertainment Stories of 2017
2017 was a crazy year for a variety of reasons, and the fact that I didn’t have to strain too much to find ten stories that rocked the industry speaks to how much was out there. I probably could have done an entire list that was just about the box office and what various successes and failures signaled to the industry. But there were also stories outside of hits and flops that had us dropping everything and stunned at a recent turn of events.
With that in mind, here are the ten biggest entertainment stories of 2017. As a side note, these are stories that mostly affect the film industry as opposed to other aspects of the entertainment industry (TV, music, sports).
1- The Best Picture Announcement Goes Insane
No one batted an eye when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway said La La Land won Best Picture because it was the favorite to win. It only went topsy-turvy when A) Pricewaterhouse Cooper completely botched their ONE JOB at the ceremony; and B) Producer Jordan Horowitz sorted it all out on stage by revealing that Moonlight was the true winner.
That’s Oscar history that will never be forgotten, and it shouldn’t be lost in the hubbub that the Best Picture trophy went to a movie with no A-list stars about a topic—a young black man and his closeted homosexuality—that was deemed too small and too niche by prognosticators to win. Moonlight’s win indicates that the Academy makeup could be very different, and the old “rules” of what can win may need to be discarded.
2-‘Logan’ Cements the R-Rated Superhero Film as a Viable Option
The success of Logan completes a story that began last year with Deadpool. Although studios still bank heavily on the PG-13 rating, the success of Deadpool and the success of Logan shows that studios can make R-rated superhero movies if they have strong stories, good characters, and thoughtful marketing. It takes a bit more work, but Logan pulling in $616 million worldwide shows that audiences are ready for superhero movies that push the envelope and that Deadpool was no fluke.
While some studios will stick to PG-13 (I don’t expect Marvel Studios to ever do an R-rated movie, especially since they’re under Disney), others will see that they have more room to tell the stories they want. Some will take the wrong lesson and just be vulgar or violent for the sake of vulgarity and violence, but other storytellers are going to take advantage of the freedom the R-rating offers and audiences will show up.
3- ‘IT’ Proves an R-Rated Horror Film Can Be a Blockbuster Smash
