The year 1977 in film involved some significant events, the biggest and most important of which was the release of Star Wars.

Contents

Highest-grossing films (US)

The top ten 1977 released films by box office gross in North America are as follows:

Events

  • March 28 - At the 49th Academy Awards, Rocky picks up the Academy Award for Best Picture. Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway, and Beatrice Straight all win Oscars for their performances in Network for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress, while Jason Robards wins for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in All the President's Men. He would win again the following year, becoming the only person to win two consecutive Best Supporting Actor awards.
  • May 25 - Star Wars opens in theaters and became the highest-grossing film of the year. The film revolutionizes the use of special effects in film and television production. It also popularizes the notion of omitting any sort of opening credits sequence. Lucas was told by the Screen Actors Guild that he must have an opening credits sequence, so he instead distributes the film independently, sans the opening credits. The film's release is often considered one of the most important events in the history of motion pictures.
  • June 22 - Walt Disney Productions releases The Rescuers, which brought back an interest in animation that had been lost to both film-goers and critics throughout the beginning of the 1970s.
  • November 16 - Close Encounters of the Third Kind opens to widespread critical acclaim and massive box office success, becoming one of the top-grossing films to date and cementing Steven Spielberg's status as one of the most talented and profitable film directors of all time.
  • The average price of a movie ticket in the United States is about $2.25.
