It was a close-run race for international films at the Canadian box office, with Vancouver-shot Deadpool, released in February, besting Finding Dory to the top spot. Year’s end came too soon for Rogue One to clinch the top spot, though the film made $34.9 million (compared with $37.4 million for Deadpool and $35.6 million for Finding Dory) in just three weeks in December. Also in the top five was Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which racked up a colossal total of $91.9 million at the Canadian box office, though the majority of this was in 2015. Rounding out the top five is Captain America: Civil War.
