40 Years of Summer Blockbusters
Written By Angela Childs
Without showing my age, I remember going to see most of these at the movies.
Let’s hop right into the biggest, top grossing, summer blockbusters of the last 40 years.
You will not find any summer blockbusters for 2020 and 2021. “The one-two punch of Covid-19 theater closures and streaming pretty much kneecapped this entire process. The summer of 2020 had virtually no blockbusters, and by the time moviegoers returned to multiplexes in 2021 and 2022, there had been a vibe shift. Movies like Black Widow and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness did well, but they weren’t events.” - Wired
