We’ve been talking about a “movie that will save theaters” since the beginning of the pandemic and the box office numbers have been pretty disappointing ever since. That could change this summer, as action flicks finally hit the theaters—including these three highly-anticipated blockbusters.
F9
With a combined gross of almost $6 billion, the Fast & Furious franchise is among the most lucrative in the world. That’s why we can count on the audience to show up for the latest installment F9, which is poised to be the biggest box office hit of 2021—both domestically and internationally.
Black Widow
The stand-alone Black Widow movie was a long time coming, and Marvel fans wouldn’t miss it for the world. It also doesn’t hurt its case that it’s the first MCU movie since 2019, when Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home came out.
Space Jam: A New Legacy
A lot of movies nowadays are relying on nostalgia to bring the audiences back to the theaters and that’s the case with Space Jam: A New Legacy starring LeBron James. In addition to being a long-anticipated follow-up to the beloved 90s movie, this project offers family-friendly fun and that’s why it’s safe to expect it will do pretty well at the box office.
