Studios test audience appetite with superhero films and original blockbusters this summer

Hollywood's summer movie season begins with major stakes, as superhero films, original blockbusters from Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg, and Disney's live-action "Moana" remake test audience appetites. The May-August stretch represents 40% of annual box office revenue. Studios hope this season will reveal whether viewers still embrace familiar franchises or demand fresh storytelling after 2025's disappointing box office performance.
