Disney has finished the summer strong with both Inside Out 2 and Deadpool and Wolverine setting records despite their later releases. The total box office sales for summer are up 121 percent with a grand total of 3.6 billion from last year which had a had multiple box office bombs resulting in only 692 million made last summer in 2023. Out of this summer Disney took a whooping 1.5 billion home with its Pixar sequel and MCU instalment. Adding onto Disny’s boons are 20th Centery Fox’s films Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Alien: Romulus which climbed to second on the total box office gross list.
The second biggest box office winner for the summer was Universial with 754.6 million after being carried by Twisters and Dispicable Me 4. The action flick, Fall Guy, under preformed and was sadly unable to make it into the top ten for the summer.
In third was Sony raking in 520.4 million with its early summer picture Bad Boys: Ride or Die and the currently sensational It Ends With Us. Sony had three flops in its line up the children’s book adaptation Harlod And The Purple Crayon bringing home only 17 million and the much more massive flop in the form of the 100 million Apple Orginal Fly Me To The Moon making back only 20 million of its budget. Sony’s biggest mistep was Blumhouse’s Afriad which preformed the worst with only 4.4 million made back, a rare flop from Blumhouse.
Paramount came out with A Quite Place: Day One and If which preformed well enough with a collective 250 million landing them in fourth.
Warner Bros, ended up in fifth falling behind after being unable to keep the hype up for summer after a spectalure spring line up. With the theater release debacle of Horizions An American Saga Part 1 and the two newest Shyamalan movies Trap and The Watchers not being enough to recapture the success of the previous summer of Barbie. This included the still surprising bomb of Furiosa.
Rounding out the biggest studio ernears were NEON with Longlegs a brilliantly made and marketed horror film that brought the studio 85 million. Next was Fathoms Events whose return of Laika’s Coraline brought that film an additional 54.2 million to add to the grande total of 110.2 million.
Lionsgate managed to bring home 73.9 million after two back to back flops with Borderlands and The Crow. Amazon MGM saw 46.4 with Blink Twice and Challengers and A24 saw 35 million from MaXXine and the ending of Civil War‘s run.
