Part 3/13:
Breaking down the summer months reveals a sobering reality. May was the sole bright spot, registering a 76% increase over last year, largely driven by the success of Lilo & Stitch. However, June, July, and August all experienced declines, with total earnings of $2.68 billion—representing a 13% drop compared to the same period in 2023. Historically, the summer box office has aimed to hit or surpass the $4 billion mark, a target consistent since 2012, except for 2017, when Wonder Woman led a summer haul close to $3.85 billion.
