Actor Chris Pratt attends die Universal Pictures' "Jurassic World" premiere beim die Dolby Theatre auf June 9, 2015, in Hollywood, California. Die film würde gehen auf zu join die top 10 highest-grossing summer movies from alle time.
Mit summer kommt ein familiar parade from cinematic tropes: die classic film reboot, die series dass nur won’t die, die ongoing, nie-ending, isn’t-anyone-tired-from-diese-noch superhero movie assault. Warum machen wir get this barrage from summer cinema, year nach year nach year?
Die answer ist money. Wenn du wollen zu win eine Oscar, die numbers sagen du should release ihre movie in November oder December. Aber wenn du wollen zu blow up die box office? Try die summer. From die 50 highest-grossing films from alle time, 30 came aus in May, June, July oder August. Mit school aus und vacations auf die rise, summers und blockbusters bist als inseparable als Han Solo und Chewbacca.
Given summer’s bankable track record, PrettyFamous, eine entertainment site aus Graphiq, set aus zu rank die top 100 highest-grossing summer movies from alle time. Rather than using raw, worldwide gross figures — which tend zu favor recent films — die team used inflation-adjusted domestic receipts. Als such, die list might undervalue films dass did particularly gut overseas, aber es werde machen ein better job putting older movies in context. In other words, $100 million in 1977 ist much mehr impressive than $100 million in 2016.

May, Nicht August
Among die top 100 summer blockbusters from alle time, May dominates, while August lags behind. Intuitively, this makes sense — films mit longer summer shelf lives tend zu machen better overall. Dort’s likely ein self-fulfilling cycle beim work hier too, als studios sehen May success, dann aim zu release future movies in die same timeframe.
Children's Movies
Wenn es kommt zu genre, nichts basks in die summer’s lucrative rays quite als kids movies. Für every iconic series auf die list, dort’s eine animated feature zu match, aus “Die Lion King” zu “Bambi” zu “Shrek 2.” Hier, Hollywood ist taking full advantage from summer vacation und busy parents. Was better way zu keep die kids occupied than shuffle ihnen off zu “Toy Story 3?"
Nach ein record-breaking opening weekend, "Finding Dory" looks poised zu continue die trend.
Noch Growing
Aber hat die golden age from summer blockbusters kommen und gone? Die data says nein.
Each new decade hat ein habit from surpassing die last, even wenn adjusting für inflation. Die 2010s bist already auf pace zu surpass die 2000s, und keep in mind dass many films werde get bumped zu machen room für die summer hits from 2017, 2018 und 2019.
Put another way, settle in für next year’s deluge from animated sequels, Michael Bay retreads, und lest wir forget, piles und piles und piles from superheroes. Nach alle, es’s nur gut business.
