Stitch, Superman and a flock of creepy children drew audiences to movie theaters this summer, but it wasn’t enough to jolt box office revenue past even the dreary levels reached last year.
The total theatrical haul for the summer — which, for industry watchers, stretches from the first weekend of May through Labor Day — grossed $3.67 billion in the U.S. and Canada, down slightly from $3.68 billion in 2024, according to Comscore. The numbers are even more sobering compared with 2023’s Barbenheimer-fueled summer sum of $4 billion, a target the industry used to hit routinely.
Though the season started with high hopes after spring hits including “Sinners” and “A Minecraft Movie,” and particularly since there were several big franchise blockbusters on the lineup, the softer summer shows cracks in the movie business that have been growing for years.
