For these new episodes of La Réu’ d’Ecran Large, deciphering the box office of the summer blockbusters of 2024, and the lessons to be learned from it.
Like every year, the summer of blockbusters is one of the major periods for the global box office (even if Hollywood cheats, and starts the period in May). Except that since Covid, the studios have struggled to regain the scores of yesteryear, despite some surprising successes (Barbie, Oppenheimer). While 2023 has been a year filled with flops and disappointments on the side of established franchises (Indiana Jones 5, The Flash…), Will 2024 be the year to turn things around? And what can we learn from the state of the box office?
This is the subject of these episodes of the Réu’ d’Ecran Large, where the entire team returns to the complexities of this particular summer. For the first episode, we return to an alarming month of May, marred by the flops of Furious and of The Fall Guy. For the second episode (available September 19), we question the moderate success of increasingly tired franchises. For the third episode (available September 26), we analyze the full house of Vice-Versa 2 and of Deadpool & Wolverine. Finally, for the fourth episode (available on October 3), we wonder if the real surprise of the summer would not be the return of medium budgets,Alien : Romulus has Trap passing by Longlegs.
The moulaga!
