This year has been a great year for film so far!
With popular teen movies such as Divergent and The Fault in our Stars to the super heros in the Amazing Spider-man 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy- which both are on the top 10 highest grossing films of 2014.
With just four months to go till the end of the year these upcoming movies have a lot of catching up to do. But we believe that some of these can definitely be up there on the highest grossing list.
1. Mockingjay Part 1
We haven’t seen the last of the girl on fire! This amazing third film of the Hunger Games saga follows the story of Katniss Everdeen after we last saw her in Catching Fire blowing up the arena and discovering her home, District 12, has been completely wiped out by President Snow. Will she arise and be the Mockingjay to lead the revolution? We will be welcoming some new faces in this third installments: Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones), Julliane Moore (Jurrasic Park) and Robert Knepper (Prison break).
