The summer box office season ended with $3.6 billion in domestic ticket sales. This is a 10% decline from last year but better than anticipated by industry analysts. Films like Pixar’s Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine drove the season's success. While early May lacked the usual Marvel blockbuster kickoff, the summer gained momentum by mid-June. Analysts remain optimistic about the third quarter, pointing to a strong September lineup.
