Summer Box Office Breaks All-Time Record With $4.67 Billion

Comments

1. Selim: summer fluff doesn't justify these numbers
2. Liamb: That sounds about right, but i'm still waiting for a movie that just lets me sit there
3. Velvet Oracle: this milestone feels a bit hollow when compared to the overall decline in ticket sales over time though
4. Sanalarsen: not entirely surprised, since Avatar pushed its own record a few years back
5. Diego: it's weird they're touting domestic numbers as some kind of triumph. doesn't seem like anyone's factoring in international markets anymore
6. Shadow Moth: seems like the usual formulaic blockbusters are getting all the attention. when does a 'riskier' picture get its moment to shine in this landscape?
7. Ember Wolf: $4.67 billion? feels like a number for a sequel or a franchise reboot, not a summer of original movies
8. Diego: this just proves that having quality storytelling and production values really makes a difference at the box office. Spidey's been killing it, no pun intended
9. Novasato: still think that's largely thanks to the bigger theaters and a decent schedule, not just a bunch of expensive franchise cash grabs
10. Diazlucas: suddenly feels like people are actually going out to stuff again
11. Void Falcon: apparently nobody needed movies to be doing well for them to stop giving us $15 tickets now though
