Marvel has Ant-Man and the Wasp hitting theaters in July, and while it will no doubt do well, I don’t think it’s going to be one of Marvel’s biggest hits. Mission: Impossible – Fallout is also likely to be a hit in July. Of course, there have been surprises this year. I don’t think anyone expected A Quiet Place to be one of the top 10 box office earners of 2018, and yet here we are. Maybe The Meg will shock us all and take in billions upon billions of dollars! Probably not, though.
It’s Good To Be Disney: 2018 Box Office Office Rakes In $6 Billion Before July For The First Time Ever
By Chris Evangelista/June 28, 2018 11:30 am EST
The National Association of Theatre Owners and comScore (via The Wrap) have announced that 2018 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year at the box office. Per the report, this is the first year ever that the domestic box office haul has hit $6 billion. 2017 came close, with $5.64 billion by the end of June 30. But 2018 now reigns supreme.
And the trend just keeps on going. This month, Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom earned a combined $522 million. There are two trends here: sequels account for almost all of this success, and Disney owns more than a third of it.
Here’s a breakdown of the top ten films of the year so far (domestically), via Box Office Mojo.
