Optimism is in the air in Hollywood as the summer movie season kicks off this weekend with the release of #DoctorStrange2. The @AP is here to guide you through what’s coming to the big, and small, screens this summer. apne.ws/W5otg3O
After two down years because of the pandemic, analysts say summer profits could approach 2019 levels. Pre-pandemic, the summer movie season regularly accounted for around 40% of the year’s grosses.
Expectations are high for #TopGunMaverick, which sees Tom Cruise reprising one of his most iconic roles, has waited in the wings for two years for the right moment to fly into theaters. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he never wavered in wanting to release it in theaters.
Marvel is back, too, with #DoctorStrange2 and #ThorLoveandThunder, which finds Chris Hemsworth’s character having a bit of a midlife crisis. Director Taika Waititi also teased that, “We have probably the best villain that Marvel’s ever had in Christian Bale.”
But superheroes alone don’t make for a healthy cinematic landscape and there are plenty of other offerings, including #WheretheCrawdadsSing, #BulletTrain, #Elvis, #MarceltheShellWithShoesOn and Alex Garland’s #Men. Check our calendar for all the releases: apne.ws/Cp02Vji
