A Look Back At The Summer 2018 Box Office (Part Two)

Summer 2018 has come and gone, yes, but the immense box office haul of Summer 2018 leaves a box office junkie like myself with plenty to talk about. With the top ten biggest movies of the summer out of the way, let's take a look at the rest of the summer's high's and low's and what lessons can be taken away from this summer's hits and misses.

A Look Back At The Summer 2018 Box Office (PART ONE)

Another Summer has come and gone folks, though if you're like me and live in Texas then the never-ending wave of 95+ degree weather outside will make you think it's still the middle of July! After a few years of underwhelming summertime box office, Summer 2018 delivered the goods with a number of overperforming blockbusters and sequels that improved on the domestic hauls of their predecessors. Best of all, it wasn't just the superhero movies that scored big bucks at the box office, smaller titles like a number of documentaries, Sundance darlings and a sensational romantic-comedy all also managed to score hefty box office sums.

Summer 2018 Box Office Predictions (Part Two)

Now that we've looked at my predictions for the ten biggest movies of Summer 2018, it's time to look at all of the other wide releases of Summer 2018 and what kind of box office I currently think they'll drum up. As in years past, these remaining wide release titles will be split into three categories: Likely Hits, a categorization that should be self-explanatory, Wild Cards, films that could easily become either hits or flops, and Potential Box Office Misfires, films that currently seem like they'll miss the mark at the domestic box office.

Whose ready to dive into a whole bunch of movies? Let's get right into it, shall we?

Summer 2018 Box Office Predictions (Part One)

Here we are again folks. For the fourth year in a row, your o'l pal Douglas Laman is looking to size up every single wide release scheduled for the forthcoming summer and evaluate their box office prospects. The time has come for the Summer 2018 Box Office Predictions. We've got a lot of particularly big sequels this summer, with Avengers, Star Wars, Incredibles and Jurassic Park all debuting new installments that should generate heaps of dough, but we've also got a bunch of oddball releases (most of which we'll discuss in part two of this piece) looking to make a dent in the summertime marketplace. Like in years past, this summer box office prediction column will be split into two parts, the first of which covers my predictions for the top ten biggest movies of the summer, while the second details my thoughts on all the other forthcoming movies currently scheduled for wide release between April 27th and Labor Day weekend.

OK folks, I've got my thoughts ready to jot down and AC/DC's Moneytalks blaring as I type this, let's get going.
