Dergarabedian noted, though, that the summer
season isn’t quite what it used to be. Studios
now spread their biggest movies around the
calendar more freely. Add “Endgame” to the
totals and the summer looks a lot better. Next
week will bring “It Chapter Two” from Warner
Bros, which is expected kick off the fall season
with a bang. After it comes, anticipated sequels
for “Frozen,” “Star Wars” and “Jumanji,” along
with big-budget originals including “Ad Astra,”
“Ford v Ferrari,””Gemini Man” and Netflix’s
“The Irishman.”
But after a sluggish spring, overall ticket
sales are down 6.3% on the year according to
Comscore. And when factoring in inflation and
higher ticket prices, not since 1992 have fewer
summer tickets been sold.

Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,
