The summer movie season is officially here and kicking off with Marvel’s latest entry in what is arguably its most critically successful series. Also closing the month, the House of Mouse is set to do serious business over the Memorial Day weekend with another photorealistic renovation of an animated classic.

Unsurprisingly, the past month’s box-office tally substantially improved upon April 2022’s, and though moviegoing isn’t back to its pre-pandemic standard, May is also on track to exceed grosses posted a year ago. No blockbuster on the horizon appears to have the cross-demographic appeal of “Top Gun: Maverick,” but three tentpoles could recreate the Best Picture nominee’s numbers in the aggregate.
