The movie musical is alive and well and when The Greatest Showman hit the big screens in 2017, we pretty much could not get the soundtrack out of our heads.

3 X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) — $544M

Apocalypse (2)
Marvel Entertainment

Jackman's long career is pretty much defined by Wolverine. So, to continue this trend is X-Men: Apocalypse. The first and arguably most powerful of the mutants is Apocalypse. After being awakened, the power-hungry almost-god puts together a team of powerful mutants of his own to basically take over the world. However, although the chances seem bleak with such a threatening opponent, our X-Men are here to save the day. Jackman's role here is really just a cameo, but it marks an important moment in Logan's story across the franchise. Per Cinema Blend, the film's screenwriter Simon Kinberg initially wanted to bring him in for a more substantial role, but ultimately decided otherwise. Nonetheless, X-Men: Apocalypse grossed $544 million!

2 Logan (2017) — $619M
