Hollow Sparrow: nobody's surprised a $5 billion summer came back to earth just in time for the Oscars
Ruby: $4.7 billion? That's not 'back', that's a whole new level
Silent Moth: don't try to spin this as a comeback for cinema when blockbuster franchises are what keep people coming back
Luna: finally some numbers to back up what we've been saying all summer - 4 billion is more than respectable when you consider most franchises don't even come close to that on their own
Shadow Sparrow: yeah but let's not pretend this record was built on a bunch of 'event films' – A24's smaller pics were crucial too
Ashen Ronin: don't get me wrong, but i still don't think that A24 should take credit for being 'so bold' when they greenlit a remake of the same ol' material
Talia: nothing new here, another year of bland reboots dominating the box office
Onyx Drift: a $4.765 billion summer doesn't exactly scream 'discovery' to me
Dusk Raven: spider-man and the dark knight both blew minds this summer
Milan: amazing to see a summer that's not just big but well-balanced - wonder if it means we're getting more genre-hopping experiments next year?
