Hot off the heels of the success met by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," it seems like people are extremely eager to explore the franchise and the world and characters it has created.
A survey was conducted by online ticketing service Fandango, which is a subsidiary of NBCUniversal.
They conducted the survey during the last weeks of December in order to find out which films, stars, and roles they were most looking forward to seeing this 2016.
"Rogue One" might be due out on December 16, but it is already leading the pack of highly anticipated movies. The movie will star Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed, and Ben Mendelsohn.
Meanwhile, Disney's "Finding Nemo" sequel entitled "Finding Dory" is fans' second choice of must-watch movie this 2016. Coming in at third is Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder's superhero flick "Batman v.
