Stars of 2017
IMDb (www.imdb.com), the world’s most popular and authoritative
source for movie, TV, and celebrity content, today unveiled the Top
10 Stars and Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2017. Rather than base its
annual rankings on small statistical samplings, reviews of
professional critics, or box office performance, IMDb uses data
from IMDbPro’s STARmeter rankings to determine its definitive top
10 lists, which are based on the actual page views of the more than
250 million monthly unique visitors to IMDb. Additionally, IMDb
today announced the list of Top Stars of Indian Cinema of 2017.

“IMDbPro’s STARmeter charts have proven to be a keenly accurate
predictor of emerging stars who are about to have a breakthrough
career moment, including previous No. 1 Breakout Stars of the year
Millie Bobby Brown (2016), Bryce Dallas Howard (2015), and Margot
Robbie (2014),” said Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro. “IMDbPro tools,
including our new iPhone app, empower members with convenient and
real-time access to this data, including the ability to filter and
customize searches to meet the specific needs of their
projects.”
IMDb’s just-launched Best of 2017 section features a variety of
additional year-end Top 10 lists, more of which will be unveiled
over the coming weeks, as well as retrospective photo galleries,
trailers, original videos (including an In Memoriam video), and
other year-end coverage. To visit IMDb’s Best of 2017 section, go

“It is no surprise that Gal Gadot is IMDb’s Top Star of 2017,”
said Keith Simanton, IMDb’s Senior Film Editor. “She is the
embodiment of a superhero in Wonder Woman and Justice League, and
has transformed from an actor of interest (she charted at No. 6 on
IMDb’s Top 10 Stars of 2016 list) into her leading role as IMDb’s
most viewed actress of the year. Gadot’s year-end chart performance
is similar to the STARmeter trajectory of Jennifer Lawrence.
Lawrence topped the IMDb Breakout Stars list in 2011 after
appearing in X-Men: First Class and then skyrocketed to worldwide
popularity as Katniss Everdeen in the The Hunger Games franchise,
ranking No. 2 on the IMDb Top Stars of 2012 list, No. 1 in 2013,
and No. 2 again in 2014. We expect Gadot to remain a top contender
in our future year-end lists for some time to come.”
“Bill Skarsgård became a household name in 2017, terrifying
audiences as Pennywise the clown in the blockbuster It, as well as
appearing in Atomic Blonde,” Simanton said. “Skarsgård is doing
double duty this year, ranking No. 1 on our year-end list of
Breakout Stars and No. 5 on our Top 10 Stars list, indicating that
his take on the iconic Stephen King character enthralled fans all
over the world who turned to IMDb to learn more about the actor
underneath the creepy clown makeup. The popularity of It also
thrust newcomer Sophia Lillis into the No. 7 position on our
Breakout Stars of the year list.”
Skarsgård isn’t the only breakout star to simultaneously grace
both of IMDb Top 10 Stars lists in 2017. For the first time since
IMDb began compiling year-end lists, five of the top 10 Breakout
Stars of the year also charted on the overall Top 10 Stars of 2017
list, reflecting unprecedented fan interest in the Breakthrough
Stars of 2017, as follows:
- In addition to Skarsgård, Pom
Klementieff (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) charted as No. 2
Breakout Star and No. 6 Top Star this year.
- Ana de Armas (Blade Runner 2049) ranks
as No. 3 Breakout Star and No. 7 Top Star of 2017.
- Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast and
“Legion”) is the No. 4 Breakout Star and No. 8 Top Star.
- Katherine Langford (“13 Reasons Why”)
is the No. 5 Breakout Star and No. 10 Top Star.
For context, in 2016 only two of IMDb’s Top Breakout Stars also
charted on the Top Stars of the year list: Millie Bobby Brown
(2016’s No. 1 Breakout Star and No. 3 Top Star) and Haley Bennett
(2016’s No. 2 Breakout Star and No. 9 Top Star).
“Shah Rukh Khan captivated IMDb users worldwide throughout 2017,
earning the No. 1 spot on our Top Indian Cinema Stars Chart this
year, up from his position at No. 3 in 2016,” said Neha Gureja,
IMDb’s Head of Audience Development. “In 2017, Khan starred as a
ruthless businessman in Raees and a tour guide on a mission in Jab
Harry met Sejal. Three of the Top 10 Stars of 2017 Indian Cinema
(Tamannaah Bhatia, who ranked No. 5; Prabhas, who ranked No. 6; and
Anushka Shetty, who ranked No. 9) all starred together in the
international blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which was
the highest-grossing Indian movie of the year.”
