In addition to the movie, one of the most exciting things about going to the theater is to enjoy freshly made popcorn. Did you know nearly all of the world's popcorn production is in the United States, with 25 states growing the crop? Over one fourth of the national production is in Nebraska, and Indiana produces only slightly less. Other major popcorn-producing states are Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri.
Just like popcorn popularity, the exciting films listed below are coming up featuring Latin talent including "Flatliners," "Death Wish," "Thor: Ragnarok," and many more, and are expected to be must-watch movies of 2017. Check the trailers and synopsis and explore your favorite genres.
