Predicting Summer 2. Movie Flops and Hits. It’s probably safe to assume that, in the money- marinated minds of Hollywood executives, the summer movie season unofficially began with the April 1.
The Fate of the Furious. It still seems weird to toss out the word “summer” while everyone was being pelted by April showers, so the summer movie season will officially commence as usual with the first weekend in May. Over the course of the next four months, over 5. While many will debut in limited release before expanding over the subsequent weeks, the wide releases are the ones that will generate the most bank at the box office. Some, like the various superhero outings, seem like sure things, while others come attached with big question marks. Will Baywatch sink or swim?
Will Rough Night enjoy a smooth ride? Will Annabelle: Creation scare up potent business? Will Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie help rescue the movie summer season?
All will be answered by Labor Day Weekend. In the meantime, here are guesses for both ends of the spectrum: Predicting The 1. Top- Grossing Movies of Summer 2. And 5 That Might Flop). HIT – ALIEN: COVENANTRidley Scott enjoyed his first international success with 1. Alien, but he didn’t return to the franchise he helped birth until the 2. Prometheus. Despite a built- in audience and fairly positive reviews, the film couldn’t maintain any traction following its $5.
Despite its plummet, Prometheus grossed $1. Scott returns as director, while Michael Fassbender, who earned the movie’s best reviews for his portrayal of an android, again assumes co- starring duties.
With a plot that sounds more straightforward than Prometheus, Alien: Covenant is in a good position to at least match its predecessor’s box office take when it hits theaters on May 1. HIT – DUNKIRKWhile sequels, prequels, and franchise players tend to always dominate the summer box office, there’s usually room for one hit that offers audiences something different. This year, the most likely candidate is Dunkirk, a dramatization of the Allied evacuation of Dunkirk, France, during World War II.
While the WWII film was once a Hollywood staple, it’s become a rarity over the past quarter- century, with the high point — both critically and commercially — remaining 1. Saving Private Ryan. Dunkirk, out July 2. Steven Spielberg smash, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, and a couple of other movies as the only WWII outings to gross over $1.
Christopher Nolan. Nolan, whose past five summer releases have averaged an astounding $3. U. S. This in turn accommodates younger viewers who might otherwise prefer to steer clear of anything resembling history over summer vacation. MIGHT FLOP – SNATCHEDTrainwreck proved to be one of the pleasant surprises of the 2. Amy Schumer a Golden Globe nomination for her first starring role in a motion picture. It was reminiscent of the big- screen breakout enjoyed by Melissa Mc.

Carthy,who landed an Oscar nomination for Bridesmaids and subsequently starred in several $1. Alas, Schumer’s latest movie feels more like a Tammy than a Spy. While the critically lambasted Tammy, co- starring Oscar- winner Susan Sarandon as Mc. Carthy’s grandmother, still managed to earn $8. Snatched, co- starring Oscar- winner Goldie Hawn as Schumer’s mother, may not climb as high. The early release date of May 1.
Katie Dippold as scripter — in addition to penning a number of Parks and Recreation episodes, she also wrote two of Mc. Carthy’s $1. 00 million titles, The Heat and last summer’s underrated Ghostbusters remake. But the comic shtick by Schumer and Hawn on this year’s Oscar telecast (where they appeared together as presenters) evoked winces rather than guffaws, and the film’s trailers feel outdated. HIT – CARS 3. With a 3. Rotten Tomatoes, Cars 2 is the lowest ranked of all Pixar movies to date (the next lowest is — surprise! It matters not a whit. A Pixar release is money in the bank, and even with the overall tepid reaction, Cars 2 still grossed a hearty $1.
That might sound disappointing for a movie that cost $2. Cars 3. The animated sequel is being released in a seasonal sweet spot — June 1. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie and exactly two weeks before Despicable Me 3. Even if Captain Underpants holds better than expected, it shouldn’t crimp too much on the debut of Cars 3.

After all, it’s that time of year when there’s plenty of kiddie coin to go around. MIGHT FLOP – THE MUMMYPerhaps some quantifiers are in order. Universal’s latest attempt to get a shared monster universe off the ground — 2.
Dracula Untold failed to do the trick — will easily clear $1. U. S. But assuming its budget will be hefty — the studio has been, ahem, mum regarding the final price tag — The Mummy will have to go over like gangbusters on both the domestic and global fronts to inspire confidence and ensure goodwill. Mindful that the popular Brendan Fraser Mummy movies played more like cut- rate Indiana Jones extravaganzas than straight horror films, Universal is pushing this as an action- adventure yarn rather than a monster flick. It also tapped Tom Cruise to headline the movie — a top- dollar practice that will continue with future films in the shared universe (Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem have already been enlisted to portray, respectively, the Invisible Man and the Frankenstein monster). Yet will stunts and star power be enough?
Probably, although perhaps not at the level anticipated by the studio. So while “flop” might be too strong a word, “underwhelm” sounds just about right. We’ll find out on June 9th. HIT – WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APESThe relaunch of the venerable Planet of the Apes franchise has been going swimmingly, with 2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes garnering positive reviews and potent box office and 2.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes netting even stronger reviews and even larger grosses. Whether that upward momentum continues with War for the Planet of the Apes is the million dollar question — or, more specifically, the $2.
The signs are certainly positive, starting with the return of Dawn director Matt Reeves. Then there’s the addition of Woody Harrelson, with the actor joining the series as a military man hell- bent on destroying all the apes.
From his work in The Hunger Games quartet to his turns in The Edge of Seventeen and Triple 9, Harrelson has been killing it lately as a supporting player extraordinaire. It should be quite the trip watching his character square off against simian star Caesar (Andy Serkis) on July 1. MIGHT FLOP – AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENINGBlumhouse Productions has a remarkable track record when it comes to squeezing big bucks out of modestly produced horror flicks. The Purge, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious franchises have all enjoyed considerable grosses, and even comparatively small earners like Dark Skies and The Gallows rank as successes when their budgets are considered.
Indeed, a small budget might be the only way for Amityville: The Awakening to avoid being a bomb. For one thing, it’s been 1. For another, studio confidence is shaky, since the film’s gone through five release- date changes — it was originally scheduled for January 2. June 3. 0, 2. 01. Most crucially, though, is the fact that a robust number of horror yarns are being released this summer, and this one might end up getting lost in the supernatural shuffle. Its competition will include It Comes at Night, coming off positive film- festival buzz, and Annabelle: Creation, part of a series that (unlike Amityville: The Awakening) is presently going strong. HIT – PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALESIt’s been six years since the fourth film in Disney’s theme- park series, and while such a lengthy wait often leads to diminished interest, that’s not necessarily the case here.
It’s true that the first three films (released between 2. On Stranger Tides “only” made $2.
