US BOX OFFICE
The month of May begins and, with it, the American Summer, the long period that goes from May to the end of August and which has seen the release of the major blockbusters of the year in theaters for over forty years. This week it’s up to The Fall Guy for Universal, horror The prophecy of evil (Tarot in the original) for Sony and the return to theaters of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.
Next week it will be the turn of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apeswhile they will be released on the 17th Back to Black, already in our theaters for a few weeks and IF, by Paramount. They arrive on the 24th Furiosa – A Mad Max Saga by Warner, Garfield – A tasty mission (released yesterday by us) by Sony, while on the 31st the month will end with Ezra and the animated Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle.
Among the strongest titles of the summer season are worth mentioning Bad Boys 4 (Bad Boys: Ride or Die) out on June 7th, Inside Out 2 on June 14th, A Quiet Place: Day One on June 28th, Despicable Me 4 on July 3, Twisters on July 19th and Deadpool & Wolverine on the 26th (perhaps the most awaited of all). Many, perhaps too many, sequels, but there will certainly be some underdogs ready to surprise, like every year…
