The InsideHook Guide to Summer highlights notable recommendations for summer activities and commemorates the 50th anniversary of Jaws. It ranks summer blockbusters based on their earnings since Jaws shaped the season, particularly noting box office performances from May to Labor Day. The guide employs a methodology focusing on total grosses rather than just summer earnings, addressing complications in rankings, including films like Forrest Gump and The Lion King. It also reflects on Avengers: Infinity War's strategic release timing and its impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and summer films.
With the semicentennial of Jaws upon us, we've compiled our definitive ranking of summer blockbusters that followed in its wake.
Our methodology was simple: we selected the highest-earning title from each 'summer,' a colloquial releasing window stretching from the beginning of May to Labor Day.
In retrospect, it feels right that Avengers: Infinity War skirted typical summer-movie scheduling and actually released internationally on the last weekend in April.
Infinity War, though, is very much an MCU nadir, more insidious than the likes of Ant-Man 3 or whatever because it showcases the highs and lows of blockbuster filmmaking.
