Here are all 44 movie sequels and reboots coming out in 2017

This year apparently hasn’t learned a lesson from 2016.

Despite relatively low box-office turnout for reboots and sequels in 2016 including “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2,” and “Bad Santa 2,” there’s a reboot or a sequel coming to theaters pretty much every weekend for the rest of 2017. (Granted, many have been long in development.)

Some are more appealing than others, with highly anticipated movies like “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” “Bladerunner 2049,” and “Thor: Rangorak” in the mix. Some are getting more puzzled reactions from people online.

Here are all the movie reboots and sequels you can see (or avoid) in 2017:

Disney just became the first movie studio to earn $7 billion at the global box office in a single year

Finding Dory

It was only a matter of time: Disney has set an industry record for biggest global box-office haul in a single year. 

The studio announced in a press release on Monday that it hit the $7 billion mark globally for 2016. It marks the first time a movie studio has reached that figure.

Hollywood Has 1.4 Billion Reasons to Try to Play Nice With China

The gatekeeper of China’s film industry has a few Do’s and Don’ts he’d like to share with Hollywood movie makers. There are 1.4 billion reasons they may want to listen to him. Do partner with a Chinese film studio, cast more native Chinese and include enough “Chinese elements” in the overall look of the film, advises Miao Xiaotian, president of China Film Co-Production Corp., which handles foreign studios’ applications to make movies with the Asian nation. Don’t just plan to shoot in China and call it a Chinese movie.

Warner Bros. May Be On The Hook For $900M If They Can't Prove The Existence Of Ghosts

Every once in a while, America's tangled web of intellectual property and copyright laws create a truly entertaining absurdity – that time John Fogerty got sued by his former record label for plagiarizing himself comes to mind. A more recent example is now the subject of a Hollywood Reporter story, involving an extensive franchise of horror movies stemming from 2013's The Conjuring. In an unforeseen turn of events, the franchise's studio, Warner Bros. ,may find itself paying out $900 million if they're unable to prove in court that ghosts are real.

It's every college film student's dream: A gangster movie directed by Martin Scorsese and starring crime film legends Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and Harvey Keitel. Back in the old days, such a prospect would be an easy green light from a movie studio, especially given the world-famous track record of Scorsese's collaborations with De Niro. But we live in a new world now, and it's Netflix that has picked up worldwide rights to The Irishman, according to Indiewire and other showbiz news outlets.

The latest Spider-Man: Homecoming trailers are all about super-tech

With great power and cool gadgets comes great responsibility and parental controls

Sony has released a pair of new trailers for Spider-Man: Homecoming this morning. Where the first two show off Peter Parker swinging around New York City, fighting low-level crime, dealing with high school, and aspiring to be an Avenger, these two reveal that we’re in for the most technologically focused Spider-Man film yet.

Halfway through Captain America: Civil War, Tony Stark pays Peter Parker and his Aunt May a visit at their Queens apartment. He tells Peter that he’s in “dire need of an upgrade,” and designs a new, advanced suit. While we saw it in action, it’s clear we’re going to really see what this new suit can do. Here, the costume tells him that he’s got 576 possible web-shooter combinations, showing off an enhanced heads-up display and voice much like Stark’s Iron Man suit possesses. Later, we see that he’s got a parachute, which activates when he’s pulled high into the sky by the Vulture, as well as the small spider-drone we saw in the last trailer.

The Mummy review: evil has never been so bad

Tom Cruise stars in The Mummy.Universal

Frustrated by the box office dominance of Marvel Studios' massive superhero franchise and a growing sense that rivals Warner Brothers might finally be waking up the DC comic universe, Universal has launched the Dark Universe as their own interlocking series of big-budget popcorn flicks. Yet while the first two have chosen to build a web of stories around the concept of heroism, Universal has gone in the opposite direction, focusing on monsters first, rather than those who fight them. So unlike the Marvel and DC movies, The Mummy isn't titled after the hero but the villain. Universal is attempting to move into the crowded hero marketplace by backing evil, and from this evidence it really doesn't offer a compelling experience for the viewer.

Robin Wright Asked For Equal Pay On 'House of Cards,' Says She Still Hasn't Gotten It

Last year, House of Cards star Robin Wright became an inadvertent poster child for the cause of equal pay for women in the workplace, after she said in an interview with Rockefeller Foundation president Judith Rodin that she asked the show's producers for a raise that would bring her salary up to the level of co-star Kevin Spacey's, which at the time was a reported half a million dollars per episode. Here's how she put the situation then:
