Superheroes really do have a lot of power. They’ve been able to change the date when a season starts.
On the calendar, summer begins on June 21. In the world of meteorologists, summer months are considered to be June, July and August. For folk in the United States, the unofficial start of summer is Memorial Day (May 27), and for many seasons the movie industry used that holiday weekend to launch its season blockbuster.
Now, with more movies clamoring to be on the summer calendar, movie studios have seemingly pushed the start of summer to April with “Avengers; Endgame” making its debut on April 26.
With the Marvel movie raking in $2.6 billion and counting, it is doubtful any movie released in the next few months will come close to topping it. But that won’t stop sportsbooks, such as BetOnline, from asking what movie might topple the superheroes or at least seriously nip at their superpowerful heels.
There are many money-making contenders hitting movie theaters, including sequels, reboots and the return of a unique yet beloved director:
The bottom line is that the summer season has something for everyone – we didn’t even get to the over-the-top Fast and Furious spin-off “Hobbs & Shaw” (Aug. 2, $295 million) with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham or “Shaft” (June 14, N/A) starring Richard Roundtree passing the torch to Jessie T. Usher as John Shaft Jr. or the horror reboot“Child’s Play” (June 21, N/A) with the return of Chucky (voiced by Mark Hamill) – but the box office for all these films will pale to “Avengers: Endgame.”
