Since “Jaws,” the summer season has been the most important for the moviemaking industry and typically accounts for around 40% of a year’s domestic box office. Pre-pandemic, data from Comscore shows that usually meant more than $4 billion in ticket sales. Last year hit $3.4 billion. But the industry is feeling optimistic. This summer the number of large-scale releases match 2019's levels, and there's a wide range of films from the latest “Mission: Impossible,” Disney's live-action “Little Mermaid” and Margot Robbie as “Barbie.”
