The top genres of 2010 are animation and adventure movies as there was five animation movies released in the top 10 box office chart and two adventures movies. However 2011 was a Action/Adventure year as there were more movies in the top 10 related to this genre such as Fast Five in sixth place, Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol in seventh place etc.  

This year 2012 I think that the popular genres is Action/Adventure and animation movies as the films called Taken 2, Looper, Hotel Transylvania and Frankenweenie are at the top of the box office chart. The film Taken 2 and Looper have become big movies since they have been released as a action/adventure top films, furthermore animation has become popular this as there are number of animation movies released this year too like Hotel Transylvania and Frankenweenie. The genre that has been least popular this year I think is the romantic genre as there are none in the top 10 box office chart.
