A scene from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," expected in theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.20th Century Fox by [James Hibberd / Entertainment Weekly](/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## James Hibberd / Entertainment Weekly Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Dec 30, 2014 10:22 PM CUT Stormtroopers and the Millennium Falcon have eclipsed the hype for Ultron and killer dinosaurs—so claims Fandango’s annual survey of the most-anticipated films for the coming year. The ticket service says _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_ is the most eagerly awaited movie of 2015 even though it doesn’t open until next December. In second place was the return of Marvel’s all-star team in _The Avengers_: _Age of Ultron_. Ranking third is the conclusion of _The Hunger Games_ franchise with _Mockingjay — Part 2_. In fourth place was the only non-sequel to make the list: _Fifty Shades of Grey_, which of course is still a widely known format as it’s based on the bestselling erotic novels. The reboot of the _Jurassic Park_ franchise, _Jurassic World_, was No. 5. Fandango chief correspondent (and former EW senior writer) Dave Karger said, “It’s been a decade since the last installment of the most beloved sci-fi fantasy franchise of all time, and kids of all ages are eagerly anticipating the revitalization of the series next December.” Notably failing to crack the top of the chart: Tom Cruise’s _Mission Impossible 5_, James Bond’s newest _Spectre_, _Furious 7_ and the _Mad Max_ reboot _Fury Road_ (which has a [particularly bananas trailer](http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/12/10/mad-max-fury-road-trailer-tom-hardy/ "undefined")). The survey was based on 1,000 polled fans from from Dec. 22 through Dec. 29. But of course, December surveys cannot predict future turnout. Last year, _Mockingjay — Part 1_ was the survey’s No. 1 pick for 2014, yet it was _Guardians of the Galaxy—_which didn’t even crack Fandango’s Top 5—that ended up leading the box office chart. Likewise, the most-anticipated list included _Divergent_ and _The Amazing Spider-Man 2_, neither of which ended up cracking the Top 8 among domestic ticket sales. Here are the trailers for four of the top 5 films (_Mockingjay — Part 2_ is not out yet), followed by more results from Fandango’s survey: **Fan Favorite Actress in 2015 Movies:**1\. Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2) 2\. Scarlett Johansson (Avengers: Age of Ultron) 3\. Angelina Jolie (By the Sea) 4\. Melissa McCarthy (Spy) 5\.
